stinky but readers can learn how extraordinary they are in this Step 3 book!

Did you know that armadillos can jump three feet in

the air to scare away predators? They can hold

their breath underwater for 10 minutes, and they've been known to eat 40,000 bugs

in a single meal! Follows a female armadillo as she forages for

food, builds a home, and prepares for the birth of her baby pups while learning quirky and cool facts about the amazing armadillo!

Step 3 Readers feature engaging characters in easy-to-follow plots about popular topics--for children who are ready to read on their own.
