Puffins (True Books Series) Book

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.
