Llama Llama’s Best Summer Ever! is so entertaining to watch. It has adorable characters, fun
animation, great music and lots vibrant content. The short episodes are the perfect length to
keep young children entertained.
This DVD is about Llama Llama and his friend having the time of their lives on their summer
vacation. Episodes include Let’s Go Camping, Beach Day, Boat Float and Last Day of Summer.
Wherever Llama Llama goes, there will always be fun.
The Llama Llama animated series is so cool, because they are based on the award-winning book
series by author and illustrator Anna Dewdney. There are several lovable characters including
Llama Llama, Nelly Gnu and Luna Giraffe. This DVD is approximately 90 minutes long with eight
episodes. My favorite episode is Last Day of Summer, because it shows that even if the weather
is bad you can still have fun indoors during the summer.
There are a lot of positive messages in this DVD including keeping a positive attitude when your
plans change unexpectedly and, if you go with the flow and have a positive attitude, the outcome
can still be fun. We also learn that a little bit of practice can make you feel more confident and
that if you feel as if you are not getting enough attention from your parents, just know that they
still love you. This DVD has no bad language and there is nothing risky or dangerous that kids
might try to do. However, there are scenes showing jealously.
I give this DVD 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 8. This DVD is available now. I
totally recommend this DVD for your kids.

Llama Llama’s Best Summer Ever is a DVD filled with episodes that are full of family values and
nature adventures! This heartwarming animated series is based on the beloved children’s books
by Anna Dewdney who also illustrated the books. There are eight episodes on the new DVD
Llama Llama BEST Summer Ever!
Llama Llama has exciting adventures with his family and friends which include valuable life
lessons at the beach, camping and around the town. The series features Jennifer Garner as the
voice of the loving Mama Llama. My favorite episode is “Last Day of Summer” where Llama
Llama seizes the day with friends and goes to the park to fly kites and ends up using imagination
when the weather complicates their plans. Change can be exciting and fun!
The message of this series is to learn from family and friends and to enjoy childhood. Change
can be tough but you can always enjoy time with family and friends.
I rate this DVD 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 3 to 6. The DVD is available now.

Llama Llama’s Best Summer Ever! DVD is tons of fun and will appeal to kids and families. It’s a
bright and happy animated series that is based on Anna Dewdney’s books about an adventurous
llama and his circle of family and friends. This DVD has eight episodes with an option to play all
the episodes or select them one at a time at an approximate run time of 90 minutes of lively
entertainment.
The series employs bright colors, fun animals and engaging story lines that align with the daily
activities that many kids are involved in, to capture their interest. The cute story lines deliver
positive messages. For example, Llama Llama’s kite is torn on the last day of summer and his
mom teaches him resourcefulness. There’s no need to buy a new one, we can fix this one and it
will be better than before. The writing structure is straightforward and geared towards its target
audience. The continuity and style reinforce each episode’s message, teamwork, resourcefulness
and helping others. The series uses vocabulary that appeals to young kids. For example, when
Llama Llama’s kite is torn his mom states that she will help him make a swirl-o-rama kite!
Through Llama Llama and his friends Nelly Gnu, Luna Giraffe, Euclid the Sheep and Gilroy Goat,
kids will learn how to problem-solve, work as part of a team, help others, develop friendship and
enjoy their families with awesome summer activities such as making lemonade, camping,
boating, swimming and kite flying. The series visually appeals to kids with its bright colors and
cute animal friends. The DVD cover is appropriate and appeal as it features Llama Llama and his
friends. There is also a listing of each episode included, with a picture next to it representing what
the episode is about.
There are educational benefits as kids are taught about problem solving and teamwork. For
example, Llama Llama wants to help his friend buy a new bike tire, so he opens a lemonade
stand to earn the money. His friends help him improve his product and help with marketing it.
Additionally, kids are shown that everyone can be included even if they don’t do the same things.
i.e. Euclid the Sheep shows up when everyone’s flying kites. He doesn’t have a kite, but he can
make calculations on wind, temperature and time to help the other kites fly. There are several
messages in this series about teamwork, resourcefulness, friendship, family and helping others.
The DVD menu has an option to watch all the episodes or select them one at a time. I give this
DVD 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 2 to 11.
