Ants in Pants and Bees in Trees is more than an alphabet Book. Alphonso Ant's journey to find a way to stop his ants from fighting is full of mystery and intrigue. Besides being a story, it is a jumping-off point to enrichment and naturally lends itself to other areas of the curriculum. It provides the teacher/parent scope to have fun while delving into subjects that include language arts, social science, nature, mathematics, and philosophy. The story, accompanied by beautiful illustrations, is written in rhyme, giving opportunity for the enhancement of phonological awareness, and children will love coming up with their own mysterious ending.
