Llama Llama Red Pajama

Written and illustrated by Anna Dewdney

A colorful tale about little llama's bedtime shenanigans. Mama and little llama read a story and then little llama is tucked in tight for bed, but when Mama turns out the light and leaves, little llama cannot settle down for bedtime. He shouts for a drink and then he must wait a very long time for his mama. He misses his mama, even though she just walked out the door. His wailing, stomping, and shouting sends Mama flying back up the stairs to rescue her little one, only to find that he is just fine in his bed. Mama is upset and tells little llama so, but at the same time, she gives him the comfort he needs.

We love the colorful drawings on each page. Emotion, separation, and love can be felt on every page, but the melodic rhyme keeps your little one comforted and entertained. Whether little llama is scared and upset or Mama is talking on the phone or perspiring with anxiousness, you will feel every bit of it when looking at these pages.

We love reading this book, almost every night. And after a few nights of back-to-back reading, my little llama is now able to “read” right along. Sometimes she will re-enact all the drama caused by little llama.

Make sure this perfect tale of bedtime woes is part of your little llama’s nighttime shenanigans.
