Little Llama is off to preschool for the first time. An exciting, yet upsetting event. He doesn't want to play with anyone or do anything other than go home. In time, Llama warms to his classmates and forgets all about being sad and lonely. It may be a good book to introduce a child to the idea of starting school or a new daycare. The actions of Llama's classmates also do a nice job showing empathy, something children learn by example (so all examples are welcome).

I believe this is the third book in the Llama series. We had Llama Llama Red Pajama, a reassuring tale about going to bed. Both my children enjoy finding familiar characters in new books, so we've moved into the land of sequels. Like it's predecessor, this book has engaging but not too complex pictures and a rhyming narrative that flows fairly smoothly.
