“Hey, Little Ant”

 

 

There are so many different types of books out there, but today, we read a children’s book about a little boy and an ant titled “Hey, Little Ant” written by Phillp & Hannah Hoose and illustrated by Debbie Tilley. The book started with the little boy debating whether to squish the ant or not, until the ant tries to convince to boy that he isn’t that different from him. After listening to the story, I thought that the rhymes and the wording of the story would be appealing to someone from the ages of possibly 5-8 years old.  Even though this story was targeted towards a younger audience, I have to admit that I liked it. The story was telling people to accept the differences between them and they shouldn’t punish people for being different from you, at least, in my opinion. The story touched on some issues we have today, acceptance being one of them. People should accept others for being different, it’s just who they are- and that’s what the ant in the story was trying to teach the boy. There are lots of great children’s books out there, personally, I think this is one of them.
