A hilarious modern take on the classic nursery rhyme, "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
He eats someone's lunch, makes a mess in the painting corner, and scares the teacher silly during story time before being sent to the principal's office to wait for Mary's mom to pick him up.
It's no fun being alone.
But when Mary finally comes home from school, Lizard knows he'll always have his very best friend.
Rendered in a combination of traditional and digital color,Mary Had a Little Lizardis a silly, satisfying celebration of new experiences and friendships that can never be broken.
