Llama Llama red Pajama

Llama Llama red Pajama is one of many in a series written by Anna Dewdney. In this particular book mama llama is putting baby llama to sleep. After she reads him a story and goes to do other things baby llama grows impatient. He cries and screams for mama. When she comes she explains to him she is always there for him even if she cant be there when he wants.

Llama llama red pajama expresses the virtue of patience to children. The book explains how when you want something it may not happen when you want it to happen but it will happen. I feel it also explains a small part of the role of a mother. It shows how mama is busy in her duties but she still loves baby very much and is always with him. It's great for children to read.

Anna Dewdney illustrated this picture book using the Acrylic and Pastels media and technique.  The illustrations of Llama Llama red Pajama reflects Representational Art. 

This is a fantasy picture book because the author took realistic events and told a story.  A. Dewdney used two talking Llama to carry out real life like events. The pictures are very vivid and lively.
