This is my quarterly child's book entry. And this one is VERY basic: A board-book about llamas hunting Easter eggs, with a surprise ending. I will say that this is a very colorful book, and probably serves its purpose all right. I like the fact that author Dewdney chose an animal that at the time she began this series was probably new to many children. As for the verse and illustrations--OK, I guess, but no Dr. Seuss outing. In fact, most of the books I read back when I was a kid, though basic, were far superior in quality to this. As I peruse many of today's picturebook options, I see that most are pretty mundane, and really I think children are important enough that they deserve better.
Final note to gringos: The correct Spanish pronunciation of "llama" is "yama," not "lama."
