Books with title We've Got a Job

We’ve Got Ants! is an illustrated children’s book that tells a simple tale of discovery, home invasion, and bad behavior. A mischievous gang of ants visits the home of a nice family and proceeds to take everything they find (without asking permission I might add). From cookie crumbs to the family pets - nothing is off limits.About The Authors: Tom Hines and Rich Seidelman - one was a college professor with an unhealthy obsession for ancient Greek theatres and the other was an art director who created McDonaldland commercials. Both were moderately successful in their former lives but now live in relative obscurity in the twilight hours of their retirement. Both met in college, both have grandchildren, and both are slowly succumbing to the ravages of time, weather, and debilitating aches and pains. Not to put too fine a point on this but there will be no sequel – we don’t have the time. Besides - “We’ve Got Ants!” says it all – no more needs to be said.
