Lloyd Llama loves many things: lollipops, spelling, cello, and the color yellow—anything with a doubleL, really! Will he ever learn to get along with his new classmate Al Alpaca, who has an affinity for all things beginning with the letterA, like apples, art, and air guitar? The two characters settle their differences with the help of their favorite letters in this alliterative adventure.
