Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg

4.0

It's sad to see how many adults on Goodreads can't appreciate this marvelous book. They need to put their childhood-glasses back on.

Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg couples a whimsical plot with gorgeous illustrations to demonstrate how perspective is everything. For the "two bad ants" is question, sugar is crystal, a human kitchen an "unnatural place" full of dangerous obstacles such as coffee, a toaster, and a power outlet. Unlike other reviewers' summation, the theme is not to conform, it is that after all your adventures, you can always go home.

As an educator, I see innumerable possibilities for skill study, but it's also a story kids will want to hear again and again. Highly recommended.
