Alpacas

Alpaca fleece is some of the softest, strongest material on Earth. It can be spun and woven into sweaters, hats, and more--and these are often quite pricey! In this adorable volume, readers find out more about the animal behind the sweater, rug, or blanket: alpacas. The main content includes the kinds of alpacas, their look, their relationship with humans, and also their relationships with each other as alpacas are a social, herd animal. Full-color photographs bring readers close to the animal and engage them with an animal they may encounter at a zoo or farm visit.
