The Nature Kid's Guide to Llamas: A Level 2 Reader for Curious Young Kids Who Love Llamas! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798898181826)

There's way more to llamas than fuzzy necks and funny faces. These mountain animals helped the Inca build an empire, can carry a third of their own body weight up steep trails, learn their own name like a dog, and run 35 miles per hour when they need to.

"The Nature Kid's Guide to Llamas" is written for curious kids ages 7 to 12 who want to know what makes these animals so extraordinary. Why do llamas chew their food twice? How does one llama guard a flock of over a hundred sheep all by itself? And why do male llamas wrestle by wrapping their long necks together?

Short sentences and jaw-dropping facts fill every page. Your child will discover that llamas sleep only four hours a night, that their wool comes in over twenty natural shades, and that the whole herd shares a single bathroom spot in the field. They'll learn how mothers and babies hum back and forth to recognize each other, how young llamas pronk and leap for pure joy, and how llamas have been working beside people for over six thousand years.

A book for every kid who has ever met a llama and immediately wanted to know everything about it.

Long necks, big personalities, and a whole book full of wild facts your child will want to share.

Thousands of young readers have explored the Nature Kids Guide series. Your child's next favorite farm animal is waiting.
