This review is from: Land of the Wild Llama: A Story of the Patagonian Andes - a Wild Habitats Book (Soundprints Wild Habitat Collection) (Hardcover)

This is a gorgeous book!
Anyone from 8 to 80+ and interested in Guanacos would be thrilled to own this.
The story is well told and the full colour drawings are a delight.
This book has been written by someone who really cares about her subject and was obviously in close contact with the artists who did the beautiful and sensitive drawings.
Thank you for making this available!
I loved it.

1.0 out of 5 stars wrong animal, June 10, 2009

By 

Vell Bruixot (Chile) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Land of the Wild Llama: A Story of the Patagonian Andes - a Wild Habitats Book (Soundprints Wild Habitats) (Paperback)

All you need to know about this book is that the title describes a "llama" and the cover art shows a different animal, a guanaco. Given the state of education in the US, this is probably close enough.
