Llama and Val - a rhyming story (inspired by my youngest grandson) for very young children. Written and illustrated by France Dot

Llama leaps and  Llama  jumps

He’s soft enough to feel no bumps

Dragged around by his best friend Val

Who takes him everywhere ‘cause he’s his pal

Val is brave and Val is strong

Because he has Llama to tag along

Nothing scares him that’s for sure

Llama helps him feel secure

Val is short for Valentino

As well as Llama, he has Frankie and Beano

But they don’t help him to be tough

Fun and games with them is enough

Val can dance and Val can sing

With Llama he can do anything

And when it’s time to go to bed

Sweet dreams of llamas fill his head
