Armadillos

These clearly written books discuss each animal's anatomy, habitat, preferred foods, defenses, and life cycle, as well as how they're affected by hunting, their loss of habitat due to development, and, in the case of monkeys, their use in medical research. The crisp color photos, which often fill the page, should attract readers. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
