Description

The last thing you expect when you go to the library is to see your librarian replaced with an alpaca. BEWARE! Alpacas make terrible librarians! Prepare for laughs and learning in this humorous exploration of what might happen when an alpaca fills in for a librarian. You'll learn all sorts of things about alpacas that you never knew you wanted to know! From surprise haircuts and sun-bathing storytime to a communal dung pile and impromptu games of tag, this trip to the library is like no other. And when rules are broken, WATCH OUT! When alpacas get angry . . . things can get messy. But just as you're about to tip-toe out the door, the real librarian returns and you can breathe a sigh of relief (and check out books on any animal you like . not just alpacas)! With a zany cast of characters brought to life by the award-winning illustration team of Chantelle and Burgen Thorne, this hilarious and informative story will leave readers with a good understanding of alpacas and a renewed appreciation for the librarians in their lives. It's perfect for any library, classroom or at-home collection! Kristi Mahoney lives outside of Boston, Massachusetts with her husband, two teenagers, and six fur-family members. Kristi loves animals of all kinds, so it's not surprising they're a big part of her writing.
