Your mama is a cow...WHAT?!

Is Your Mama a Llama?
By Deborah Guarino
Illustrated by Steven Kellogg

This book was published in 1989, I'm pretty sure I read it to my kid sister in the early 90's!  If taken out of context, it could sound insulting!  Really though, it is about a silly llama that tries to figure out who tries to figure out which animals are the same species as he is.  He questions bats, seals, ducks, kangaroos and a handful of others before he gets it.  Other than just silliness, this book is fantastic for preschoolers.  Great rhyming and repitition.  It also helps kids identify animals by atributes.  I read this to Lula and Doodle while they were occupied with something else and not watching the pictures. They were able to guess most of the animals by their descriptions.  We bought this book so we can read it over and over!
