In his fourth book, Llama Llama wonders how, despite the season’s "hustle bustle," the countdown to Christmas moves at a snail's pace. After too much shopping, baking, and waiting, Llama Llama melts down, and Mama Llama gives him a much-needed hug, reminding him: "the true gift is / we have each other." The illustrations convey the hectic atmosphere in great detail.
