Llama Destroys the World is about a llama who overindulges in cake one day. This leads to his pants being too small, although he forces them on anyway, and when they rip, they create a black hole that sucks the universe through it. This, to me, sounds like a fat joke expanded into picture book form. The illustrations are colorful and simple. The llama doesn’t talk much beyond a few phrases such as “I am Llama!” This book doesn’t deliver on its delightful title, although I must be in the minority, as the publisher has ordered a sequel.
