From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3–In this companion book to Trout, Trout, Trout!: A Fish Chant (NorthWord, 2004), an ant and 59 other American insects appear in a catchy chant that jumps, flits, and flies across flashy spreads. Two-spotted Stinkbug, White-lined Sphinx./Tiger Moth, Underwing, hiding pinks./Cockroach, Earwig./Like them? Can't!/Firefly, Flower Fly, Ant, Ant, Ant! The garishly colored digitally produced caricatures with grossly exaggerated features are not for the squeamish, but will entertain with their humor. The stinkbug gives off a green gas. The dung beetle keeps a roll of toilet paper on hand. A thrip goes waterskiing. The text and illustrations are a natural pairing for exploring the insect world. Curiosity about the odd but real names can be satisfied by short informational paragraphs at the back of the book. A lively addition for insect units.–Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH

Customer Reviews

Another great chant!
We love Trout trout trout and Ant ant ant is not a disappointment. The illustrator and author make a wonderful team and I hope to see many more books come from both of them. My 4 year old loves this book!

5 year old loves this!
This along with Trout, Trout, Trout have been two favorite books around our house recently. My son is 5 and thinks this book is great. He especially loves the part about the dung beetle. The fun rhyme introduces children to a variety of insects, and the pictures are super. It's very educational and fun at the same time.

A zany set of bug drawings and facts
Ant, Ant, Ant! (An Insect Chant) receives Trip Park's fun drawings as it follows up on the popular Trout, Trout, Trout! (A Fish Chant) to provide a zany set of bug drawings and facts. Yes, insect facts are included within the zany set of insect identification - and Trip Park's large-size and unique color drawings are quite vivid, adding to the excitement of a top pick.
