Put on your own pajamas and snuggle with your little one for a bedtime story of Llama Llama Red Pajama. The large pages and full-size pictures are filled with color and familiar bedtime scenes. The story reads in a steady beat with short sentences and matching rhymes. Carefully-selected colored words in bold appear frequently to emphasize the action, and are perfect for your child to sound out. Your child will easily relate to Llama Llama if they are also never without their security doll or blanket, stall before bedtime, or get scarred in the dark when they are alone.
This is a great beginning reader book for your child to practice on. No matter who is reading, your child may want to stop and share their own story of when they were scarred after being tucked in. You can find the humor together of the Llama's little llama doll copying his every expression, and the extent to which Baby Llama goes in his temper tantrum when Mama Llama does not come quick enough.
My friend Taylor said she has been scared at night too, but her mom always makes her feel better by giving her a hug and a kiss and leaving the door slightly open. Taylor's mom reads her this book as a bedtime story so she can reiterate at the end that she will not be far - just in the next room - while Taylor falls asleep, so there is nothing to be scared about.
