Hey, Little Ant Hardcover – Picture Book, July 1, 1998

My children grew up with this book and I bought one for my daughters classroom.

I was looking for an interesting short mentor text to introduce opinion writing as well as gain a topic student would be passionate about. This book gave me everything I needed!! Not only did the kids love it, it ended with a fabulous question posed to the audience. Within the books there are also a few supporting details for students to use to back up their opinions so this is great for an writing lesson! If you’re adventurous there much you can do for en ELA lesson as well!

Read to my class each year, and this year as a mystery Resder read aloud in my grand daughter’s classroom. Wonderful illustrations and story.

Grab one for your child or classroom for a new perspective!

I purchased this book for my grandson. Tom Pease performed this story at his school. So cute.

I used this book to teach perspective to my second graders. Since the story is open-ended, I then had my students write an ending for the story. This book is wonderful and should be in every K-3 classroom!

Love how this book teaches young children to respect all life no matter how small.

We love to use books to help teach our 4 y/o different skills or lessons. After reading so many positive reviews about this book, we decided to purchase it. It quickly became one of my daughter’s favorites and the story really does seem to stick with her. When we go outside, she’s constantly pointing out ants and warning me not to step on them. And we also take the chance to talk about how that compassion applies to animals and people.
