    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!
