Follow the journey of this "armored" creature to the north. It is descended from an animal that evolved fifty-five million years ago in South America. It looks like a miniature tank, with its stiff armor and short legs. When the Spanish arrived in the New World and saw this strange-looking creature, they called it el armadillo, "the little armored one." Stephen Swinburne and Bruce Hiscock follow the trail of one armadillo in Texas that gives birth to four female pups. When her babies are ready, the mother leads them out of their burrow. Soon they learn how to dig for worms and beetles to eat. The young armadillos keep growing and keep moving, staying alert for dogs and other predators. They wander ever northward on a journey of survival fraught with danger.

Armadillo Trail: The Northward Journey of the Armadillo
This is the fascinating story of the armadillo, an animal that has actually been expanding its range since the arrival of European settlers. It describes the cyclical pattern of one small family of armadillos who move from Texas to Oklahoma and then beyond once of the armadillo offspring sets out on her own. The whole book is beautifully illustrated, and the text is both informative and engaging. It includes a brief overview of the expanding territory of the armadillo as well as some of the nuances of its different species of armadillo, particularly the nine-banded armadillo that has been working its way north into the United States since about 1850. Really an interesting book. I certainly learned a thing or two from it.
