Llama Destroys the World

Meet Llama, a true hero for the ages, who has most definitely driven a bus and who loves cake way more than you. 
 
On Monday, Llama discovers a pile of cake, which he promptly eats. 
On Tuesday, Llama squeezes into his dancing trousers, 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 hilarious, the oblivious, the apocalyptically adorable Llama. 
So grab some cake and prepare to dance . . . because the time for Llama is nigh!

Married 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 . . .  dessert has never seemed so epic.

A hilarious, ridiculous, darkly comic story about what can happen when you feed one single pigeon . . . 
 
The dynamic team behind Llama Destroys the World return with a laugh-out-loud tale about the dangers of feeding pigeons! 
 
When you see a coo, you will be tempted to give it a treat. 
Coos are adorable, peaceful, kind of silly. 
But DON'T FEED THE COO! 
If you feed one, they will ALL COME . . . 
 
So begins a cautionary tale of what happens when one little girl shares some bread with a coo (a.k.a. a pigeon). From the park to karate practice to home, the coos follow our plucky heroine as she discovers that even the biggest problem can be solved with a little determination.
