Llama Llama mad at mama (2007)

A great book about tantrums and childhood feelings. Love all the rhymes! ( )

Does a nice job of capturing all the really good reasons why any little kid would be annoyed with the progress of the day. Also pretty good for helping parents regroup when a frustrated kid ultimately goes into meltdown mode. I liked this installment in the series. ( )

"Llama llama Mad at Momma" is a book where the main character goes on a shopping trip with their mom, and gets angry when they don't get their treat. This story is one of teaching little ones how important it is to recognize emotions, and how those emotions can influence peoples actions. This book is also very good at subtly introducing the concepts of commas, rhyming, and onomatopoeia, as well at normalizing the routine of shopping. I would read this to kindergartners, and have them then talk to each other about what emotions they feel in doing certain activities, and how that emotion affects them. ( )

This book is about a little llama who is mad at mama because she's making him go to the store with her. He throws a tantrum because his mama isn't paying attention to him and finally gets her attention. Mama explains to him that she doesn't love going to the store either but at least she gets to spend time with her baby!!

This book is super cute and I love the message it sends! I think this book would be awesome to read to kids who usually throw tantrums because it would explain to them a little bit better why they have to run errands with their mom or dad.
