3Armadillo is trying to come up with a plan for global domination...but with every new idea, being a bad guy seems a little less fun--especially if ruling the world means losing your best friend. Readers will delight in star cartoonist James Sturm's tender and just depiction of a friendship in peril.

James Sturm is the author of several books for kids, including the Adventures in Cartooning series and the forthcoming Ape and Armadillo Take Over the World. Sturm also helped start a college for cartoonists, the Center for Cartoon Studies, in the small railroad village of White River Junction, Vermont.
