About This Item
NY: Viking Juvenile, 2002. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Vladimir Radunsky. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. After Mr. and Mrs. Armadillo are married, they decide to have children and lots of them, so their friends must scramble to get just the perfect gifts for the ten new additions to their friends' growing family. Radunsky finds a kooky, kicky way of counting to 10 while addressing pregnancy and birth. In effusive language and over-the-moon collages, he presents the love story of Mr. and Mrs. Armadillo, two thick-set creatures attired in sacklike body suits, form-fitting "tail stockings" and striped "ear socks. Always clean. Always in bright colors." (In case anyone objects that these bipeds cannot be real animals, Radunsky pictures a regular armadillo "naked, after taking a bath.") Each spread provides an episode in the newlyweds' fond marriage. They play in the park and ponder names for imaginary offspring, only to be surprised when a four-stage sequence shows Mrs. Armadillo's belly expanding to phenomenal size. "I think I am going to have a baby," she says. Record # 351590
