Llama Llama joins the Step into Reading line with a story that's perfect for little ones getting ready for recitals! Based on the hit Netflix television series.
Luna Giraffe is practicing for her dance recital. But she's so nervous that she doesn't think she can perform! How will Llama Llama and friends help Luna get over her jitters? The beloved character, made famous by Anna Dewdney's best-selling picture books, is the star of his own original series. Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
Anna Dewdney was a teacher, mother, and enthusiastic proponent of reading aloud to children. She continually honed her skills as an artist and writer and published her first Llama Llama book in 2005. Her passion for creating extended to home and garden and she lovingly restored an eighteenth-century farmhouse in southern Vermont. She wrote, painted, gardened, and lived there with her partner, Reed, her two daughters, two wirehaired pointing griffons, and one bulldog. Anna passed away in 2016, but her spirit will live on in her books.
