Loving "A Couch for Llama"

Q: What's adorable, heartfelt, hairy, and fun?
A: A Couch for Llama, by Leah Gilbert! (And did I mention, it's two stories in one?)
 
    Just look at that llama! (Can you resist him? Nope. Didn't think so.)
     This book begins with a fun-loving family and their comfy old couch which--as the central fixture in their everyday activities--gradually takes a beating. 
     The family hunts down a just-right new couch, straps it on the car roof, and away they go.
     Here's where the story splits into two...

     Oops. The ropes fail, and (furniture fiasco!) the new couch ends up lost in a field with only one curious witness to notice--Llama.
     Don't worry. The family and Llama will cross paths, later. But before their stories converge, there's a whole lot of llama-ish exploring to be done.
     Check out this charming book. You'll want more llamas on library shelves. And you'll come away with a new appreciation for your couch.
