WHAT REVIEWERS SAID ABOUT LIVING
WITH LLAMAS:
"While few may have the chance
to live with llamas, many can take vicarious pleasure in following
the author's experiences, related with warmth and humor."
-- American Library Association Booklist.
"A look into the warm, touching,
friendly, and funny emotions of one couple's developing relationship
with llamas. Those who don't have 'llama fever' can get some
insight into what it is like. A must-read for anyone just
getting into raising llamas." -- Llamas Magazine
AND READERS SAID:
"I cried, I laughed, I learned,
and now I'm sold on llamas."
"Received the book Friday afternoon,
stayed up till 12:30 AM to finish it on Saturday morning.
What more can I say?"
"Thank you for writing such a
warm account of your life with llamas -- I think, perhaps,
if I hadn't read it, I wouldn't have my lovely llamas now!"
"We've read most of it twice
-- aloud to each other!"
"It is highly readable, filled
with good info and very entertaining. It is really an asset
to the llama world. I will refer back to it many times and
will definitely offer it as a chief reference to interested
people."
"After checking out your book
from the library simply to learn about how much upkeep would
be involved, I immediately read it... front to back. Upon
finishing, I knew I was about to embark on an adventure. Being
a true city slicker prior to our move here, I look forward
to having your book nearby when my "boys" arrive
next spring. Thank you for the book and for starting our family
on a wonderful adventure!"
"Living with Llamas is
a beautiful little book, with delightful content embellished
by humor."
"Living with Llamas is so warm
and real to me; I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading
and rereading all that you've written. I can sense your devotion
and respect to an ancient and dignified animal."
"We thoroughly enjoyed Living
with Llamas. Besides the great photos, we liked the way
you said what has been in our minds at one time or another
but were afraid to say. We have all had hesitations and questions
about our llamas but so often are afraid to admit we don't
know what we are doing. It is refreshing to see it in print."
"Living with Llamas
is a book I recommend for new llama owners. It is full of
information, presented in a delightful story form."
