At least Llama and Mama don't have to be sick alone!Īnna Dewdeney's latest in this beloved series, Llama Llama Home with Mama (Viking, 2011), takes her little llama through another of those preschool milestones, that l-o-o-n-g day when everyone is sick with the same bug. They cuddle up together, Mama, Llama, and of course his little ever-present llama doll. Wait! Llama Llama knows what to do to make Mama Llama feel better! He leads her to her comfy chair, plumps up a pillow for her head, and fetches some of his best, best books for her. UH, OH! Mama Llama's got it, too! She hacks, she sneezes, and her head hurts when Llama Llama makes the least noise! Down to the kitchen he goes, hungry for his lunch, and he settles down to enjoy his sandwich, just in time to hear Mama Llama's first AH-CHOOO! Mama tries to help by reading some of his favorite story books, but things are still just not right!įinally Llama Llama gives in to the sneezles and falls asleep-and when he wakes up, he's feeling better. Yucky fake-fruit-flavored medicine makes his head feel fuzzy, and nothing-not his trains and tractors, not his cars and crayons-is any fun. It's not off to school, but back to bed for him. Mom diagnosis: his head is hot, his throat is sore his nose is snuffly she doesn't need to know more. He droops over the breakfast table, and Mama makes a quick Dr. Little Llama in his red pajamas wakes up with that BLEAH! feeling.
