Overview

"What Do You Call an Ant? is an early-grade, original watercolor illustrated children's book encouraging children to have fun with words; in this case, words ending in ant. Along with expanding vocabularies and improving spelling skills, this lively, read-aloud book inevitably draws the entire family into solving the riddles. For example, ""What do you call a really large ant? A Giant!"" The text is interspersed with interesting ant facts and ends with a surprise by introducing the concept of homonyms to children by inviting their favorite aunts to read with them. It makes a delightful gift to be given or received by a favorite aunt!"
