Why do armadillos spend so much time digging? They dig to find food and to escape from predators. They even dig underground dens to live in Discover the armadillo's unique combination of physical characteristics. There's only one animal that has a pig's nose, a mule's ears, a bear's claws, a turtle's carapace, and a rat's tail--it's the amazing armadillo
From the moment we surprised our 2 year old daughter with this book propped on her pillow in bed, she loved it! She has an unusual affinity for this animal, so she was delighted. I was surprised at how small it is -- something like 4" X 6". The facts are great, and it is written in simple language. Our daughter tells everyone that an armadillo doesn't have a shell, it has a carapace (we learned this from the book). I recommend it to anyone who has a crush on armadillos.
