When Mama Llama tucks her in for the night and leaves the room, Baby Llama suddenly starts to get nervous and so bellows, hollers, and screams for her return in this lively picture book with simple text.

The Selection Committee chose this title because of the bold, bright illustrations and the wonderful rhyme in the text. The story reflects a feeling universal to toddlers–impatience. The committee found elements of the story that both a child and parent or caregiver could relate to.
