Llama Llama Red Pajama




















written and illustrated by Anna Dewdney
ages: infant to preschool

Baby llama is all ready for bed- he is wearing his red pajamas and has read a bedtime story with his Mama. After Mama kisses him goodnight and turns off the light, baby llama suddenly feels alone. He calls for a drink of water and Mama says that she'll be right up. But Mama doesn't come fast enough and baby llama starts to worry- maybe she has left him all alone! Baby llama starts to whimper, then cry, and then wail. Mama arrives just in time to reassure him that she will "always be near, even if she's not right here." And then with two kisses and an I love you, baby llama is fast asleep.

This warm and humorous book will bring a smile to the face of young readers who can relate to the comfort and love of a mama, and to their mamas who provide it. Llama Llama Red Pajama will surely become a bedtime favorite.

All the rhyming in this book is kind of reminiscent of a Dr. Seuss book, and it is a fun read.
