Book Synopsis

When Little Ant finds a peanut in the snow, he's determined to be a hero and bring it back to the anthill all by himself. But he soon discovers that some great things can only be accomplished by working together!

This is an original story illustrating Aesop's moral: United we stand, divided we fall.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Little Ant Books were created with social emotional learning (SEL) in mind. Kids learn best by example. Little Ant often acts on his big feelings before taking a moment to think about what he is doing. As they see Little Ant learn from his mistakes, kids will develop a deeper understanding of their own emotions. The stories can be used as a learning tool to help kids discover the small gap that exists between feeling and acting - a gap in which thinking and choosing how we want to behave is possible, no matter how we feel.

The Little Ant books are reimaginings of Aesop's classic fables, teaching timeless lessons like "appearances can be deceiving" and "one good turn deserves another." Brought to life by Tina Perko's vibrant and whimsical illustrations, the stories follow Little Ant as he navigates through the challenges and frustrations of growing up. Little Ant's adventures provide him with opportunities to build character and learn valuable lessons about friendship, kindness, empathy, teamwork, courage, and the importance of being yourself.
