Throughout the school day, the teacher helps Llama Llama and the other children practice their letters, shows word cards, reads stories, and brings them to the library where they can all choose a favorite book. By the end of the day, Llama Llama is recognizing words and can't wait to show Mama Llama that he's becoming a reader!

He knows he will be miserable ... and then the doorbell rings. It's Molly from the ice cream store. What is she doing here? And...
