A review by librarianryan
The Drama Llama by Ella Okstad, Rachel Morrisroe

informative lighthearted medium-paced

3.0

 
In this book, our main character’s anxiety is expressed as a llama that shows up and disappears, shows up and then gets bigger, bigger, and bigger, and they have to learn how to calm the llama. The art is really fun and kids would like seeing it. The story rhymes well and does a good job at getting its point across. The biggest complaint about this book it’s a tad long and there are stands where she loses the cadence. It’s this loss of cadence that draws the story out. Places where the lines are shorter or don’t hit the same beats as others that stop the tongue making the story longer.
