EASY READERS
(1) K-3 Illustrated by Molly Bang. Harley is pretty much a failure as a pack animal, but when a savvy shepherd chooses Harley to guard her sheep, the llama finds his true calling. This stands as one of the few books intended for beginning readers who prefer their animals with authentic attributes rather than human characteristics. The rustically textured illustrations warm the tone and highlight the action. This is a high adventure well told and respectful of both animal and audience.
