Bookroo's summary
Explore the fascinating world of armadillos, creatures with bony armor that must inflate their stomachs to swim. Learn about their diet, habitat, and unique adaptations that help them survive. What challenges do these armored animals face in their environment?
From the publisher
A shell of bony plates covers an armadillo’s body. This dense “body armor” protects the animal, but it also makes swimming difficult. To avoid sinking in water, an armadillo must inflate its stomach with air! In this book, children will learn about the diet, habitat, and unique look of the armadillo.
