Synopsis
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?Excerpt
KID: Hey, little ant down in the crack,Can you hear me? Can you talk back?
See my shoe, can you see that?
Well, now it’s gonna squish you flat!
ANT: Please, oh please, do not squish me,
Chang e your mind and let me be,
I’m on my way with a crumb of pie,
Please, oh please, don’t make me die!
