The Land of Hungry Armadillos

Fire and brimstone (and diabolical armadillos) threaten two quarrelsome siblings in this heavy-handed yet creatively visualized tale.

Gus refuses to share his crayons with his sister, Wendy.

He underlines his feelings by drawing a picture of Wendy crying in "a land that had red mountains, a lake of bubbling goo, and a line of hungry armadillos with wide-open mouths." That evening, Gus gets a visit from Zub, a rust-orange giant who offers an enormous box of crayons and paper in exchange for Wendy.

Gus gladly agrees but is shocked when Zub takes Wendy to his subterranean realm and forces her to bake cupcakes for an endless queue of ravenous armadillos.
