N2  - "Ms. Mole's birthday is tomorrow and Elinor, Ari and Olive want to do something nice for her. Olive offers to bring in a cupcake - nothing says happy birthday like a cupcake! But what if it gets squished in her backpack? The friends needs to figure out a way to keep the cupcake safe. Luckily, an evenful walk home from school provides some inspiration. First they watch as a stray ball from the playground lands on a turtle and bounces right off its shell - no harm done. Then their friend Rollie Armadillo shows them his favorite game - bouncing a ball on his shell. Finally they visit Ms. Llama at the snack stand for some coconut water, but the coconut is a tough nut to crack! The friends realize that the turtle, Rollie and the coconut all have something in common - a shell! And that's just what they need to protect Ms. Mole's cupcake and stop the squish. Sidebars with more science facts and a key vocab word are interspersed throughout, and an activity at the end of the book teaches kids how to test the strength of an eggshell."--
