Armadillo Tattletale

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Keith Graves. Long ago, when Armadillo had huge ears, he used to eavesdrop and repeat distorted tales about other animals. Outraged, Alligator trimmed Armadillo's ears to the tiny size they are today. Ketteman's original pourquoi tale features colorful language, and the illustrations reflect the story's exaggerations. However, the wronged animals don't arouse much sympathy, and unlike some tricksters, Armadillo is merely disagreeable.
