A little red ant thinks she is too small to carry away
her precious cake crumb to the anthill...it is so big!
After seeking help from several larger animals and
a farmer, she realizes she has the strength to do
the job herself. Moral: You can do it if you think
you can.

This is an excellent book to intergrate with your
insect unit (listed as an extension in GEMS Ant
Homes Under the Ground), to show how
self-reliance is important in getting the job done,
and to learn some Spanish vocabulary that is
sprinkled throughout the book.

  • Little red ant (5 1/2"), coyote (5"), rooster (5"),
    lizard (5" wide), spider (4"), 2 cornstalks (10"),
    farmer (10"), sun, cake crumb
  • The 20 Spanish words are included in the
    storytelling set as 1”x 3½” felt-backed cards.
  • Story card included

    manipulate, quick to clean, and ideal for
    instructional use or for small group sharing.
