What’s not to love about this book? It’s a touchy-feely board book about llamas!

Baby Dixie loved this book! I'm sure it will be a favorite!

Such a good book

I like this book because it helps a child to understand the feel of different materials. Nice book to interact with my granddaughter.

Llamas are really enjoying their 15 minutes of fame in the world of children's books right now! We love Llama Llama Red Pajama and the Macca the Alpaca Collection so this fits nicely into the theme. The front cover is the real highlight of this book for me. 'Tufty' is an excellent (and underused) word, and the mullet-like tuft on the cartoon llama's head really exemplifies this.

"That's Not My Truck" was a hit with my son eons ago, and I was wondering why are there so many books in this series, considering the materials are not that variable.
I guess people are buying them, which is a shame. His nose is too smooth? Come on... Maybe if the llama's coat was red or smooth(implying that it is naked), that would make a difference, but putting in lots of material that feels like cotton or fur is not a big difference. :(

The books in the "That's not my..." series can be an interesting read for young babies as they cover a variety of subjects and offer a sensory experience with colourful, cute illustrations and some touch-and-feel features. A common downside of the series is that the descriptions and textures become overly general and repetitive. Unfortunately, some descriptions of llamas in this book are not accurate, e.g., Llamas do not have hooves; instead, they have two toenails on each foot. Their noses are smooth, not fuzzy (a leathery patch would work much better). It's not an ideal book for introducing llamas.

We love the “That’s Not My...” series in my house! I especially like these books for my 8 month old son. He is able to feel the different textures and is learning in more ways that one and that makes my mama heart happy.

I have grown rather fond of this Usborne touchy-feely books series. How can anyone not love a book that uses the word"tufty" as a description? TUFTY.

[Alyce Hunt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some very funny illustrations sprinkled throughout, but a lot of variations on fur and a rather muted palette meant that my little one lost interest in the different llamas quite quickly.

I love this series. Perfect for babies to beginner readers.

Got this one for my daughter - she was tired of reading brother's That Not My... books, now she has her very own!!

[William Spencer · Rating 4 out of 5]

My son loves this book for all the different textures

[Kayleigh Farey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly, I squealed as soon as I saw this book in the supermarket, I embarrassed my boyfriend as I ran across the aisle to grab my beautiful copy, and then I proceeded to grin like a cheshire cat all the way back home.

Similarly to the other Usborne touchy-feely books, we meet a variety of llamas who can't possibly be my llama due to a series of different textures that make each one unique. This book is very colourful and engaging, and very fun to read.

That's Not My Llama... is definitely my favourite in this awesome series from Usborne, even beating the beautiful That's Not My Unicorn...! It makes the perfect gift for that llama-lover in your life, whether they're big or small!
