Hey, Little Ant (Phillip and Hannah Hoose)

 

Whenever we do our animal life cycles unit, kids are grossed out by insects. My goal always is to get them to realize that insects are really cool! This book will fit perfectly in our unit. The best page is the one where you turn the book and the ant is looking WAAAAY up at the boy.

Goodreads says:

What would you do if the ant you were about to step on looked up and started talking? Would you stop and listen? What if your friends saw you hesitate? That’s what happens in this funny, thought-provoking book. Originally a song by a father-daughter team, this conversation between two creatures, large and small, is bound to inspire important discussions. It might even answer that classic childhood question: To squish or not to squish?
