Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"A busybody armadillo learns the consequences of eavesdropping and gossiping.... Graves' waggish illustrations...are painted in striking deep hues." - Kirkus Reviews "The animals are all indigenous to Louisiana and Texas, so the book could be used to give a lighter touch to a Southern/Southwestern U.S. unit, or, then again, it could be read aloud for just plain fun, which it definitely is." - School Library Journal
Armadillo's habit of eavesdropping and then misreporting what he hears makes the other animals so angry that they find a way to keep him from overhearing their private conversations.
