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

Customer Reviews

Don't be fooled!
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!!

Sweet but not informative
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.

Good for a little light reading
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.
