About this title

Synopsis

The Beginning Of The illustrated by Lorinda Bryan Cauley. There are Hedgehogs and Tortoises in other places, of course; but the real old and clever kind, with their scales lying lippety-lappety one over the other, like pinecone scales, that lived on the banks of the turbid Amazon in the High and Far-Off Days, are always called Armadillos, because they were so clever.

About the Author

Shoo Rayner should have been an astronaut, but he became an author and illustrator instead. He is the creator of many well-loved books, including the LITTLE HORRORS, SCAREDY CATS and JUST SO STORIES series. One of the RICKY ROCKET books, UP AND AWAY, is the 100th book he has written and illustrated!
