Publisher Description
Meet Llama, the next great picture-book megastar, who has most definitely driven a bus and who loves tacos way more than you.
He also loves cake, and that’s where our story begins.
On Monday, Llama discovers a pile of cake, which he promptly eats.
On Tuesday, Llama squeezes into his dancing pants, which he promptly rips.
The force of the rip creates a black hole (naturally).
By Friday, Llama will (indirectly) destroy the world.
In their debut picture book, author/illustrator team Jonathan Stutzman and Heather Fox introduce young readers to the comical, the studious, the oblivious Llama, a picture-book hero for the ages. So grab some cake and your dancing pants and prepare for Llama Destroys the World... because THE TIME FOR LLAMA IS NIGH!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Co-creators Stutzman and Fox open this outrageous story of planetary annihilation with a prediction: "On Friday, Llama will destroy the world." The seriously silly tale then details a single week's events, beginning on Monday with Llama's consumption of "more cake than any llama should ever eat." His indulgence is merely the "first mistake" in what turns out to be a domino effect of cascading errors: on Tuesday his dancing pants don't fit, but he squeezes into them anyway ("second mistake"), resulting in a "thunderous" rip that creates a black hole; on Wednesday and Thursday, he fails to warn of the world's "imminent doom"; and on Friday, as predicted, everything ends. With clean lines, uncluttered digital illustrations focus attention on the ungulate's day-to-day doings alongside incoming universal demise. Several pages of cyclonic chaos herald doomsday's arrival, a whirlwind of pizza, plants, and planets. It seems that all is lost, but then Saturday rolls around, and the world is just as it was on the other side of the black hole. By Sunday, Llama, with innocent saucerlike eyes, has moved on to contemplating "more pie than any llama should ever eat." Dessert has never seemed so epic. Ages 4 8. (May) Correction: An earlier version of this review misstated the creators' relationship.
