By Vladimir Radunsky

What do you do when you're one of ten children? If you're the only pink armadillo and all your siblings are green, then you know you are meant to stand out. But how? Well, if you are best at everything, it shouldn't be hard! In this eye-catching tale, the off-beat narrative is as inventive-and as kid friendly-as the graphically stunning artwork. Vladimir Radunsky offers young readers and listeners his own inimitable follow-up to his popular book Ten, of which the New York Timessaid "a delightfully original counting book. . . . The narrative is perfectly complementary with the painterly comical illustrations. . . . A joy."

Radunsky strikes again!

I love Vladimir Radunsky's illustrations. And in this case, it's a whole book written by him. It's a sequel to the "10" book, where we meet the Armadillo family for the first time. This book is about one of the Armadillo's offspring, who refuses to be #6, he thinks he is #1. It's a very charming story, quirky (so typical of Radunsky), funny, and hilariously illustrated as expected. I think it's a great book, and fun to read over and over...
