Meet Llama, the next great picture-book megastar, who has most definitely driven a bus and who loves tacos way more than you.
He also loves cake, and thats where our story begins.
On Monday, Llama discovers a pile of cake, which he promptly eats.
On Tuesday, Llama squeezes into his dancing pants, which he promptly rips.
The force of theripcreates a black hole (naturally).

So grab some cake and your dancing pants and prepare forLlama Destroys the World... because THE TIME FOR LLAMA IS NIGH!
