Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 6?From the Just-So Stories comes this romp of a tale about how the hedgehog and the tortoise use language to muddle a young jaguar out of eating them. When they then understand that Mother Jaguar can't so easily be confused, they exert themselves to acquire each other's skills in swimming and in curling up. As a consequence of the hedgehog's soaking and the tortoise bending, they both mutate into new creatures?unidentifiable, but provisionally tagged "armadillo." Rowe's whimsical paintings foreground the main players (and quite a few amusing walk-ons) against a series of arbitrarily "evolving" abstractions of quasi-Amazonian flora. The wit of the illustrations is equal to the cleverness of the text: both may appeal most to those sophisticated 3-year-olds and 30-somethings who appreciate the obfuscatory qualities of language and the mutabilities of identity.?Patricia (Dooley) Lothrop Green, St. George's School, Newport, RI

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Children's Book!, October 14, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning of the Armadillos (Polish Edition) (Paperback)
Beginning of the Armadillos was a good book, and it held good description. It captures a young child's imagination and is very informative. I enjoyed it.
