Llama Llama Red Pajama (2005)

This book is about a little Lama who is afraid to be alone at night when his mom puts him to bed. He overreacts and his mom reminds him that she is always close by even when she's not right next to him. ( )

Would have been five stars, but now my Midwestern husband and I are debating our pronunciation of the word “pajama” and it’s potential importance for the vocabulary of our as yet unborn child. I’m pretty sure we’ll be reading this book a million more times in our future. ( )

repeated words but also it highlighted new words that kids might not know ( )

This book is just one of the greats with the rest of its rhyming read-aloud. I read this book to my nephew and I even put a little bit of my own tune to it. I recommend it for parents who are reading to their children at night. I also recommend reading the rest of its series. ( )

Dolly Parton read this as part of her "Goodnight with Dolly" videos. She has a great, soothing reading voice. https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com/goodnight-with-dolly/
