Soon he's crossing the ridges and bridges of the high altiplano where he lives. But is he going too far? And who will he find?

My 3.5 year-old preschooler loves books about animals, and we are constantly on the lookout for interesting picture books. "The Littlest Llama" by Jane Buxton fit the bill as the main character is a cute little llama on the quest for a playmate. The generally rhyming text makes for a fun reading-aloud experience. The gorgeous full-color illustrations not only bring the llamas' world alive but perfectly capture little one's need for fun and playmates. There is even a little 'surprise' in the plot at the end which will have readers chuckling. Highly recommended!
