But Not the Armadillo

By Sandra Boynton

Book Overview

"Boynton is the absolute master of board books."--The New York Times Book Review
For more than forty years, readers have wondered what happens to the armadillo on the last page of Sandra Boynton's But Not the Hippopotamus. At last, comes the long-awaited sequel!

The armadillo follows the less-traveled road: he picks cranberries, stops and smells the flowers, naps in the meadow, and at day's end passes an overeager hippo sprinting in the other direction. Told with Boynton's signature charm and unpredictability, But Not the Armadillo is a worthy companion to But Not the Hippopotamus.

Behold the armadillo,
with his armadillo nose.
That nose can take him anywhere.
He follows where it goes.

Customer Reviews

Umm... awkward.

The book is a cute fallow up to But Not the Hippopotamus. I like this author however, I give it a three because the last page is kind of awkward to read. It tells you to stroke the armadillo's nose to make him feel better. And the nose is long, ovalish, and tan... everyone who's read it all kind of stop and pause on the last page. From grandparents to my husband. So it wasn't just me. I think I'm going to take this book out of reading rotation. I just cringe when I get to the end and it really makes me uncomfortable when my 1.5 yr old strokes the nose.
