Armadilly Chili

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Will Terry. Those who consider "The Little Red Hen" too cold-hearted will welcome this revision, in which Billie Armadilly feels guilty about not sharing her chili with three friends who wouldn't help her make it. The twangy text ("No workin' with Billie, no sharin' the chili!") only rarely goes overboard. Despite the garish hues, the careful paintings capture the brooding mood and Texas setting.
