PreSchool-K—In this sequel to
Llama Llama Red Pajama (Viking, 2005), the hoofed protagonist goes shopping with his mother. Gradually the small annoyances of the Shop-O-Rama ("Yucky music,/great big feet./Ladies smelling way too sweet....Try it on and take it off./Pull and wiggle,/itch and cough") send the youngster into a tantrum: "It's no fun at Shop-O-Rama./Llama Llama/MAD at Mama!" With admirable patience and parenting skills, Mama tames the "llama drama," explaining to her son that they can make the chore fun by working together. Soon Llama Llama is helping Mama clean up the messy results of his meltdown and complete their purchases, and then they are off to pursue more pleasurable activities. Children will giggle at Dewdney's rhythmic rhymes. The inviting, oversized paintings are bold and colorful, and Llama Llama's priceless expressions carry the emotional arc of the story to its gentle conclusion. Add this amusing tale to your storytime repertoire or recommend it for one-on-one sharing.—

I've read quite a few reviews on this and I'm astonished at the decision-making authority over the family that a lot of folks on here give their children to decide when the family shops. Also, if the child falls asleep in the car, then they postpone their shopping trip? Who can afford that? The nearest grocery store from me is about 20 miles away so I'll be darned if I'll turn around and go back if my kids fall asleep in the car. I just make sure I don't do this around nap-time, but sometimes they fall asleep regardless. To let the child determine the parent's shopping schedule is almost like telling them they don't have to go to school because they don't feel like it and the whole purpose of this book is to show that sometimes we have to do things we don't like, but we suck it up and do them anyway. If you don't teach your children that, then you are setting them up for failure in the "real world".
I can totally relate to this story and although my sons have never thrown quite the enormous tantrum that Little Llama has done in this story, they have opened packages before checkout, thrown items out of the cart and pulled items off of the shelves despite being buckled in a cart and having my constant supervision.
Let's face it, kids have short attention spans and patience for shopping, but even more so, they have all this stimuli surrounding them and yet they are denied touching, tasting and playing with it during shopping trips. Regardless, parents must still shop and children need to learn tolerance for less than ideal situations. Llama Mama makes this clear in the book that she would rather be doing something else, too, but she still has to get her shopping done.
