Three misbehaving young visitors give Macca the alpaca hairy conniptions.The storyline is best regarded as a vehicle for scenes of big-eyed, dainty-hoofed super cuties and a narrative so choked with trite and forced rhymes that it's hard to read with a straight face. The bully-beating woolly introduced in Macca the Alpaca (2020) initially welcomes a visit from two nieces and a nephew ("That guy is called Drew. / He's Macca's nephew!"). However, they play so wildly that the house is soon a wreck, and they display terrible table manners to boot: "They flicked all their peas / and scoffed down candies." Confectionery-bright backgrounds set off equally candy-colored crias surrounded by similarly hued rubble. No sooner does "Uncle Mac / completely blow his stack," however, than all three repentantly rush off to clean everything up and then fall asleep in an angelic little pile-the titular stack. Sure, young readers will definitely buy that as viable behavior-modeling. On the other hand, the snortworthy verse, sweet pastel colors, and, especially, all those huge, round eyes with their long lashes may beguile even dyed-in-the-wool cynics. For a few moments, at least, and then they will brush their teeth.
