Macca the Alpaca lives a carefree life until Harmer the Llama comes along and bullies Macca into a contest.  Harmer may pick challenges of strength, but Macca uses his brain to come out on top.

Macca is so fluffy and loveable! And he uses his brain to fight instead of being a bully.  I am not as in love with the rhyme scheme, however – it doesn’t track well all the way through, so in a couple of spots it is awkward to read aloud.
