This post is intended to whet your appetite for Jennifer Kirkeby’s guest post tomorrow about adapting Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama Red Pajama for the stage.

I am grateful to Jennifer (and to the photographer, Bruce Challgren) for allowing me to use these photos on my blog.

Sit back, get ready — the curtain is about to open!

      They are, aren’t they? I so wish I could have seen this performance!

    I bet this will be FANTASTIC! I LOVE the Llama Llama books. They are total “ear-worms.” Once I get them in my head, I cannot get them out.

    We have a local children’s theater that performs children’s books as well. It is excellent! My kids and I enjoy the performances immensely. We would love to have Llama Llama performed at our local theater.

      Oh wonderful! I love that there are so many children’s theaters around!
