Most armadillos live in the tropics, but Armadillo Baby and Annabelli have found their way to the land of sand and pyramids. Their local friends and allies include Seflagori the camel and Noseberry the anteater. But the armadillos learn the hard way that others they encounter are far less reliable, and perahaps even sinister -like Elvis and Montmorency the Syrian crocodiles, Horatio the Hawk, and Rexi the angry water reed, as well as of certain humans, like Captain Fat-Face Shutemup and his communications officer Sparky Blabberon.
