About this item

Why should an armadillo NEVER cross a road? Because he may never get to the other side! In this delightful book, a teacher armadillo tells his class about their prehistoric ancestor - a glyptodont that weighed nearly two tons. He describes what an armadillo eats for lunch. And he cautions them about the dangers of crossing the road. But one student in a red baseball cap isn't listening - or is he? With the addition of a "Words to Learn" section and a brief summary of scientific facts about the armadillo, Don't Ever Cross That Road! is packed with information. Conrad J. Storad's musical verse and Nathaniel P. Jensen's charming pictures make this book about a favorite mammal of the Southwest a special treat for every young reader.
