Publisher's Synopsis
On his birthday, Ardie the Nose, a curious aardvark cub, sets out on an adventurous stroll alone through the Enchanted Forest of Mount Moonka Chaka. Armed with a pen and a notebook, in which he writes the answers to all of the questions he's always asking, he hikes forward, looking for Nature to offer up its Great Secrets of Life. Along the way, he not only gains valuable wisdom from the friendly creatures that he encounters, but also learns very important lessons from the not-so-friendly ones.
Written for children of ages nine to ninety-nine, What Ardie the Nose Now Knows is an awesome adventure story that shares the principles of success that kids should learn as they grow.
