Peggy Turley.
Bold illustrations imbue the desert night with a magical atmosphere in this Spanish edition of the story of Armadillo Ray, who asks his fellow desert animals "?Saben qu_ es la Luna?" He gets all sorts of answers, but when the owl takes the scientific approach Ray falls asleep. Unfortunately, Owl's science lesson is included as an appendix (along with legends about the moon), rather than as part of the story.
