Yikes And the armadillo story continues IN THE OUTSIDE-AFTER DARK, a sequel to IN THE OUTSIDE, an armadillo tale. In this, the father armadillo educates his four young adoring sons about the nocturnal survival skills that every young armadillo must learn. This fascinating fantasy captures the reader's imagination-going into their world when for the first time they experience the dark of night; how to inflate the body for that first swim; and then join the boys for their first look at a full moon. Then, BAM Into the dream world comes an ugly reality. But, all ends well with recovery and discovery.
