Summary:
Is your mama a llama? Lloyd the llama is looking for his mama. "Is your mama a llama?" he asks a bat, a swan, a cow, a seal, and a kangaroo. Young children will share Lloyd's delight when the answer to his question is finally, "Yes!" Three cheers for Catherine the Great : Sara's feisty Russian grandmother asks for "no presents" for her birthday -- and gets them -- just in time for the borscht and blintzes party! Five creatures : Told from a small girl's point of view, this is the charming story of the two cats and three humans that live in her house. The story playfully charts comparisons between the five family members' varied talents and tastes just the way a child learning to count might do. Elizabeti's doll : When her new baby brother arrives, Elizabeti, a young Tanzanian girl, longs for a baby of her own, until she finds the perfect baby -- a rock she names Eva.
