Publisher's Synopsis
The Texas Adventures of Arnie Armadillo is about a lonely armadillo from Missouri who longs to meet other armadillos. After he hears so much about the state of Texas and how there are a lot of armadillos living there, Arnie decides to leave the only home he has ever known and travel alone to Texas. Soon after arriving there, he makes a new and dear friend, Albert Armadillo, and becomes an adopted member of Albert's family. Arnie and Albert decide to go on a road trip of Texas and explore the seven different regions. The Big Bend Country is about Arnie and Albert discovering the history and culture of the towns and cities of that region, like Midland, Odessa, Marfa, Del Rio, El Paso, and Pecos. They also meet some of the wildlife native to the Big Bend National Park and the Guadalupe Mountains State Park.
