Don't Ever Cross that Road! An Armadillo
Story
Book Review:
This is an informational book about armadillos but with a twist. Written
by Conrad Storad, readers are welcomed into the world of armadillos
by a teacher teaching his armadillo students a lesson. Conrad Storad
uses rhyme and humorous antidotes in the book to make learning about
armadillos fun. The end of the book features facts about armadillos
and elaborates on information that was used in the story.
Nathaniel Jensen illustrated this book masterfully. He was able to
bring vibrant color into the world of the armadillos. He also used many
beautiful illustrations to enhance the text of the book. There are often
hidden illustrations within the illustrations; if you look closely,
you may be able to find them. This book is great to read to students
individually or in a group setting.
