When Llama Llama starts preschool today he is pretty excited. He gets to me his teacher, Miss Zebra. The class is decorated and the room is full of books and other kids.

He thinks it will be great fun- but then mama leaves! Oh no! The teacher tries to make it feel a bit better and the other kids try to encourage him, but he remains sad. The day improves after lunch when he joins in the activities, and then Mama Llama comes to pick up her little Llama Llama.

Llama Llama Misses Mama is a good book for the child starting daycare or preschool. The illustrations are good and it does an great job describing school, students and teacher. It describes the school setting, other students and the teacher. They will see that Llama Llama is worried about his mother being gone, but then they learn just like Llama Llama did, that school is fun and their parent will return for them.
