When the cricket declares that ants arenāt any fun, Little Ant sets out to prove him wrong. Soon Little Ant is admired by the grasshoppers, the cockroaches, the katydids, and the crickets. But is trying to please everybody worth the cost? This is an original story that illustrates Aesop's moral: you canāt please everyone. The Little Ant books are reimaginings of Aesopās classic fables, teaching timeless lessons like āappearances can be deceivingā and āone good turn deserves another.ā Brought to life by Tina Perkoās vibrant and whimsical illustrations, the stories follow Little Ant as he navigates through the challenges and frustrations of growing up. In the tradition of the classic series the Berenstain Bears and Little Critter, 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 true to yourself.
