Summary:
This rhyming bed time story tells of a baby Llama who can not sleep until his mom tucks him into bed. He begins to worry where she is and attempts to go find her when he gets frantic and upset. Mom comes shortly after making everything okay once again.
Motivation Activity and Discussion:
Do your parents tuck you in at night?
Do you get upset when your parent doesn't come right way?
What do you think you could do that would help you patiently wait for them?
What is your bedtime routine? story books read? story telling? singing? praying? what do you do every night before bed?
Personal Response:
I think a lot of young children can relate to this story. most children are used to a certain routine at bedtime and when things do not happen according to expected plan anxiety and uneasiness sets in and they may become upset. This book introduces the different options for controlling that overwhelmed emotion until their parent comes to tuck them in. This poises alternative options while waiting.
