Editorial Reviews

Review

Beginning with the concept of children bonding with alpacas, adults sharing good times with an alpaca, and moving through all the many warm-fuzzy feelings one can get from just being around these small camelids. THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF ALPACAS also takes stops along the alpaca tour which describe and define their characteristics and their habits. -- Francie Greth-Peto

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled!, July 16, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wonderful World of Alpacas (Paperback)
This is a book for kids, not an informational book about alpacas! I bought it thinking it would have good information about raising alpacas. The description is sufficiently vague. I'm sure it is a nice book for kids, but the description should say it is a picture book! Then folks like me wouldn't have to pay return postage for the wrong book!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Sweet but not informative, April 28, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wonderful World of Alpacas (Paperback)
This is a very short and romantic description of life with alpacas but do not buy it with the hopes of getting any real information. It contains nothing. It was very cute but has mostly hand drawn sketches that fill the few pages it has with VERY few words on each page. I should have read the description before I bought it. I am not sorry to own it - it is a wonderful description of the relationship one can have with the animals just no information on their care, habits, or anything having to do with raising them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for a little light reading, October 30, 2005
This review is from: The Wonderful World of Alpacas (Paperback)
This small picture book begins with the delights of alpaca and children together, then moves onto the pride of showing and general fun that they are to be around. This is not a book that will help you with husbandry. It is a book that would make a nice addition to a children's library or as a simple introduction to show visitors at field days or events. Nice black and white line illustrations of both Huacaya and Suri. Would make a perfect colouring-in book.

Oops! I thought it would be informative - no. Maybe share it with the kindergarden class.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful World of Alpacas
Cute book, but not what I was looking for ... this is a young child's book. We've given it to a local church for their nursery. Nice black and white drawings, the kids like it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected at all.
I should have read the description more closely - "warm, fuzzy" should have given it away. I was expecting some information about alpacas and instead got a children's story.
