Description
Do you wanna see a llama? Then come this way, as our self-described 'llama expert' takes her friend on a chase around the city. They discover wild and wacky animals around every corner - but are any of them really llamas? Llamas are highly sociable animals, though, and where there's one, there's often more ... Readers will be shouting at the book with delight as more and more llamas gather in the background, until a whole parade of partying llamas is revealed. But will the children ever find what they're looking for? Children will love guessing what each new animal is from the glimpse given in the artwork, before turning the page to find out and there are fun facts about all the animals at the end of the book. A fantastically funny follow-up to Wanna See a Penguin? by the award-winning author of You Must Bring a Hat.
A hilarious llama-chase picture book all about animal recognition.
