A fluffed pillow, new box of tissues and stack of books are just what Mama needs. But after lunch the tables turn-Llama Llama is feeling better, but Mama now has the sniffles: “Llama Llama, red pajama, / sick and bored, at home with Mama.” Luckily, he’s still in that delightful preschool stage where helping out is a favorite playtime activity, and he has learned how to care for sick people from a master. The listless boy struggles to occupy himself, but Mama saves the day with a book, after which he takes a curative snooze. When Llama Llama’s feeling “just not right” turns into a full-blown sickness complete with aches, sneezing, fever and sore throat, Mama sends him back to bed (wearing red pajamas, of course) and administers the inevitable yucky medicine. Proving once again that she understands the preschool set, Dewdney shows what life is like when first Llama Llama and then Mama get sick.
