Llama Llama’s Little Lie | Read Aloud Story for Kids

Llama Llama's Little Lie by Anna Doodley. Llama llama inside fun, mama working in the sun. Slip and zoom upon the floor, walk with pillows fun galore. Sprint up and slide down the stairs, only when mama is not there. Bounce on couch, stack some books, swing from lamps, hang from hooks. Fun and games in the hall, llama llama throw the ball. Llama llama makes the pass, the bouncy ball hits the glass. Uh-oh, a giant crash, all at once a great big smash. Mama llama's favorite frame, now in pieces, such a shame. Mama's picture, what should we do now? Run away to Kalamazoo? When she finds out she'll be mad, mama will think this is really bad. Llama llama feeling sad. Mama llama at the door, she sees the mess upon the floor. My favorite frame I hold so dear, oh my goodness what happened here? Llama fidgets and gazes down, he shifts his hoods and begins to frown. It wasn't me, I didn't do it. The door, it opened, the wind blew through it. A gust of wind, a whistling sound, whooshed right in and knocked it down. No wait, a wild dinosaur stomped in and knocked it on the floor. A rock, it fell out of the sky, crashing through the ceiling from way up high. Llama llama, is that a lie? Just tell the truth and tell me why. There was a rock, no dinosaur, no gust of wind came through the door. Llama llama starts to cry, it's true, it's true, I told a lie. I'm sorry mama, I broke the frame, it was just a silly game. I didn't mean to make a mess, it's time to tell the truth I guess. Mama llama dries his eyes, no more stories, no more lies. Over his heart he pulls his hooves, it's my fault and that's the truth. Llama, I'm so very proud of you, being honest is hard to do. Okay now, here's what we'll do, we'll fix it up, good as new. They fit the pieces like a puzzle, a smile, a kiss, a fuzzy nuzzle. Outside with the ball, both of you, out trot llama, nelly and mama too. Mama llama, your turn to pass. Mama winds up the grass, a perfect shot, but through the glass. That's okay, we'll fix this too, all we need is a little glue.
