I am interested in it and the pre order might be a good idea I guess. Thanks for this post for us.
“If I were an armadillo, and a stranger came up and said I looked familiar, and they wanted to know why I looked so familiar, I’d respond in a raspy voice, “Your brother ran over my brother.”
I love my bumgenius diapers!!!
I dont have a direct quote but for my sons first birthday I plan on making that cakie from Steel Magnolias
I can’t really find a quote, but I looked them up and learned that they are one of the few animals that eat fire ants. That’s pretty cool in my book!
Armadillos are certainly one of the strangest animals out there. However, I LOVE this color!

I love armadillos!!!
The following is an excerpt from “The Armadillo from Amarillo” written by Lynne Cherry:
“But Armadillo still wondered, ‘Where?
Where in the world am I?
Perhaps I’d have a better idea if I could somehow
fly.’
One day he asked the golden eagle as she came
breezing by,
‘What can I do for a bird’s-eye view from up in the
big blue sky?'”

I’ve never seen a Jaguar,
Nor yet an Armadill-
o dilloing in his armour,
And I s’pose I never will,
Unless I go to Rio
These wonders to behold–
Roll down–roll down to Rio–
Roll really down to Rio!
Oh, I’d love to roll to Rio
Some day before I’m old!
