Customer Reviews

Great story and great lessons

I bought this book for my twin two year old nephews (along with a stuffed armadillo). I bought it for the lessons (don't cross/careful crossing the road) and the sweet story. They love it and the art work is adorable. They're a little young for the lesson but since they're so engaged with the story now I think they'll keep it around long enough for the lessons, too.

Absolutely delightful

This is a sweet story you won't mind sharing with your child again and again. The illustrations are first rate, each page has its own color palate as the story progresses from evening to dawn (armadillos are nocturnal, after all!). My three year old has a new best friend!The publishers also did a great job on the printing. The images are crisp, the paper is of good quality so that the colors jump out at you.Good for kids or adults who are collectors of picture books.

great illustrations great story

Not only is this delightful book instructional but it is also great fun for both children and adults. Kids really respond to the illustrations which animate the story. Definitely a keeper -- one you will want to read and look at over and over.

Delightful Rhyming, Illustrations AND a GREAT Science Lesson

This book by the author of "Don't Call Me Pig! A Javelina Story" and "Lizards for Lunch. A Roadrunner's Tale" is a wonderful blend of whimsical rhyme and natural history lesson. Young readers (or listeners) will love following the antics of a red-capped armadillo student as his teacher armadillo lectures the a restless armadillo class all about their history, biology, habitat, and most importantly the dangers of crossing the road! Bringing the words to life are Nathaniel Jensen's delightful illustrations--the expressions on the little armadillos faces are priceless.
