I thought this had really old school vibes, which I then realized made sense because it's by Bill Martin Jr. This book didn't stand out to me in any way, but it wasn't bad. It reminded me of the kinds of books my elementary teachers read to me 20 years ago. Which maybe means it's time for other kinds of books.

I received a free digital ARC of this children's picture book. The paper collage art across the pages is absolutely beautiful, and the rhyming composition really ties everything together. The notes on the last page really help explain some of the pages (like the armadillo running from dog as one of it's biggest predators), which I think was necessary for a short kids book. The simplicity and rhythm really make this a great, quick read, and I definitely recommend it! It is an especially great option for toddler & preschool teachers to use in their classrooms thanks to the repetition and beat.

I enjoyed the illustrations of the armadillos. They were very well done, brightly colored, and a lot of fun. This book is written in rhymes to try to engage the young audience and to help teach about armadillos. It was a cute book and included some information on armadillos at the end.
I would like to thank Brown Books for providing me with an ARC.
