If you know me at all, you probably already know of my (slight) obsession with the Llama Llama books. They are so much fun to read aloud and the bright, fun colors are as mesmerizing to adults as they are to children. Seriously. Last year we were ever so lucky to host Ms. Anna Dewdney, author and illustrator of the Llama Llama series, at Lemuria. I spent the day with Anna, and we may have bonded (a lot) over children’s books. It was really just one of those days that makes you glad to be a bookseller.

So, when I got the email that Anna would be coming BACK to Lemuria, you can only imagine the dancing that went on in Oz. (I dance when I’m ecstatic, doesn’t everyone?) I am SO looking forward to Monday, September 24th at 4:00 when Anna Dewdney returns. Aren’t you!? We will be geeking out over children’s books and reading the newest Llama adventure, Llama Llama Time to Share (yay!)

Llama has a special place not only in my heart, but also in Lemuria’s. Llama was chosen last year for our OZ First Editions Club and the new book, which is already receiving starred review, will be our September OZ FEC pick. Now is a great time to sign up for this growing club. You never know what perks you might get, even if it is just the joy on your child’s face (see one such experience here). Please email me if you have any questions about the club or to sign up: emily@lemuriabooks.com.
