A bright, round orange marks the spot where a young armadillo has dug a new burrow. When a gust of wind blows the orange away, Armadillo relies on his neighbors--including a tortoise, a scrub jay, and two snakes--to help him find his way back home. The simply told story and focused watercolors weave in basic facts about armadillo habits and environment.
