The Three Armadillies Tuff
Illustrated by S. G. Brooks
Published by Peachtree Publishers
On their way to a new dance hall, three armadillo sisters, Lilly, Jilly, and Dilly run in to a coyote named Tallula. To avoid becoming armadillo chili and armadillo skin boots, the sisters treat Tallula to a girl's night out. The Three Armadillies Tuff is a spirited retelling of The Three Billy Goats Gruff with a Southwestern twang.
Reviews
