A Couch for Llama
Scroll ↓
When a family finds a surprising new home for an old couch, a llama becomes the happiest creature of all.
The Lago family really loves their couch. It’s perfect for reading, snuggling, playing, and jumping. But all good things must come to an end, and, one day, the family realizes the time has come to replace it. As they drive home with their brand-new bright-red couch, though, it gets knocked off the top of their car into a field . . . where a llama tries to make sense of this new thing. At first confused—It doesn’t talk! It doesn’t taste good! It doesn’t budge!—the llama soon realizes how comfy the couch is and settles right in. Can the family get its furniture back—and keep llama happy, too?
Leah Gilbert has written and illustrated a warm picture book that touches both the heart and the funny bone.
Praise for A Couch for Llama
The sweet and silly premise comes to life through the illustrations. Small details express the family's tenderness and frugality. The llama is endearing, and his curiosity and playfulness shine… A fun blend of realistic and ridiculous that will appeal to a broad audience. -Kirkus Reviews
Llama’s expressively depicted interactions with the sofa are priceless, and his emotional journey verges on heartbreak when the Lagos show up to retrieve their missing couch… This fun read is guaranteed to put a spring in any reader’s step. -Booklist
The illustrations showing Llama making friends with the couch are not to be missed… A Couch for Llama manages to be both tender and action packed, and shows the rewards of spreading the happiness around. It's a thoroughly entertaining read, especially while ensconced on a suitably comfortable couch of one's own. -Shelf Awareness
