Synopsis:

Bluebonnet, everyone's favourite Texas armadillo, is about to take a trip that will elevate the reputation of armadillos to new heights and altitudes! She's blasting off on the space shuttle to become the first armadillo to attempt a spacewalk. She and her sister, Normadillo, are touring the Johnson Space Center in Houston when the scientists and astronauts ask her to help them out with their next space-shuttle mission. Children will love the outlandish antics of the armadillo-turned-astrodillo as she suits up for the big flight. They will also learn about the space program, what it takes to become an astronaut, and the many exhibits and special events at the Johnson Space Center. Colourful and action-packed, the latest book in the Bluebonnet series introduces young readers to the high-tech world of space travel from the delightful point of view of Bluebonnet, the space-travelling armadillo.
