Llama,Llama Red Pajama

I've been wanting to make puppets for about three Christmases now. My friend Kellena really likes books. Because she likes them so much, I thought I could pair a book with a puppet as a Christmas gift for her family. However, because she is such a bookworm, she already has a large assortment of books. I had to spoil the surprise and ask her what book she wanted for Christmas. She told me her three year old has been reading Llama, Llama, Red Pajama (from the library). Unfortunately, I didn't have a puppet pattern so I had to make it up. I struggled a bit with how to make the neck look long enough. Also, there are no forward facing pictures in the book so I had to mirror image the face. I was a little nervous that I would work all day on my poor llama only to have it turn out looking like a scared giraffe. (It does look a little like a scared giraffe, but I think it turned out quite cute.) What do you think?
PS. I ended up getting her the book: "Llama, Llama Misses Mama". I liked the story a little more than "Llama, Llama Red Pajama". Jon didn't like the "pajama" book because he felt that it was teaching children bad bedtime behavior. There's also a "mad at mama" sequel where Llama and Mama go shopping. Llama doesn't want to be at the store so he throws everything out of the grocery cart. The "misses mama" sequel is about going off to school and how Mama will always come back for him. No unacceptable behavior. Just the kind of book Jon would approve.
