April's Book of the Month--A Llama is Not an Alpaca

April’s Book of the Month is the fun-and-fact-filled picture book A LLAMA IS NOT AN ALPACA, written by Karen Jameson and illustrated by Lorna Scobie.

A LLAMA IS NOT AN ALPACA immediately lures readers in with its bright, playful cover depicting a llama and an alpaca blowing raspberries at each other!

Once the book is open, kids will surely keep turning the pages for a series of clever, rhyming riddles which point to the differences between nine pairs, and one “triple dare,” of animal look-alikes. Rabbit or hare? (Check the ears.) Butterfly or moth? (One flies at night.) Clam or oyster? (Whose shell is rougher?) A short non-fiction passage explains each answer.

“Here’s the buzz:” The lively text and colorful art will have kids debating “each and every clue.”
