Review by Kirkus Book Review

Will Llama Llama come clean after breaking one of Mama's prized possessions? While Mama Llama gardens outdoors, Llama Llama and a friend who appears to be a young goat play inside. Their boisterous activities include pillow fighting, running up the stairs and sliding down the bannister, swinging from lamps, and jumping on the sofa--fun that is possible "Only when Mama is not there." They move on to playing catch: Llama Llama throws vigorously, and the ball shatters Mama's favorite picture frame. Uh-oh. What to do? The pair consider running to Kalamazoo. When Mama returns, Llama Llama first blames the wind, then a dinosaur, then a meteorite. Mama doubts these possibilities, and Llama Llama cries but admits to the lie. Mama praises his courage, and the three of them repair the frame. Later, throwing a pass outside, Mama breaks a window herself! With humor and sympathy, this tale brings to life a very common experience that will resonate with preschoolers. Mama reacts with model parenting, and Llama Llama quickly accepts the blame and the necessity of truth-telling. Morrow's illustrations add both drama and a reassuring note. (This book was reviewed digitally.) A spot-on series installment that imparts a valuable lesson on the importance of honesty. (Picture book. 3-5) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
