Bored and frustrated, Llama Llama moves steadily toward a tantrum during a trip with Mama to the grocery store, and Mama realizes there must be a way to make shopping more fun.
Llama Llama's mother takes good care of him when he has to stay home from school because he is sick, so when Mama Llama begins to feel sick, too, Llama Llama knows how to take care of her.
When Mama Llama says it is time to clean up, Llama ignores her since he is more interested in playing than cleaning, but Mama finds an imaginative way to teach Llama a lesson about cleanliness.
