(4) K-3 Step into Reading series. Illustrated by Paul Mirocha. A female nine-banded armadillo avoids predators (bobcat, human, canine) and sets up her burrow in preparation for childbirth. The easy-reader text provides interesting information (e.g., "Nine-banded armadillos always produce four babies, or quadruplets. These four pups are always exactly alike") but it doesn't flow well. The illustrations have a fuzzy-edged digital appearance.
