Armadilly Chili - Hardcover

"Terry's vibrant cartoon artwork adds personality to Billie and her large-eyed companions. Done in jewel tones, the scenes depict the warmth of the desert landscape as well as that of the creatures' friendship. The rhythmic text reads aloud well and the dialogue has a western flavor."

"Yee haw! This Texas-style takeoff on The Little Red Hen' bubbles with southwestern flavor....Ketteman flavors the tale and message with plenty of pizzazz. Terry uses hot, intensely saturated, southwestern colors to spice the comedy, and embellishes each critter's characteristics with clever details, such as Tex's bolo tie. A sure-fire hit for the lap-sit crowd."
