This story of friendship explores how our differences can bring us together, and teaches children the power of spelling and word-use through alliteration Lloyd Llama loves many things: lollipops, spelling, cello, and the color yellow--anything with a double L, really! Will he ever learn to get along with his new classmate Al Alpaca, who has an affinity for all things beginning with the letter A, like apples, art, and air guitar? The two characters settle their differences with the help of their favorite letters in this alliterative adventure.
