Book Review: Hey, Little Ant by Phillip and Hannah Hoose

What would you do if the ant that you were about to step on looked up and started talking? Would you listen to him? That is what happens in this funny, thought-provoking book. "Hey, Little Ant" by Phillip and Hannah Hoose was published in 1998. It has earned a nominee for Jane Addams Children's Book Award for Picture Book in 1999.

I thought this was a really cute book to show different perspective. I think all kids have a hard time to know  what someone or something is feeling when they do things. I really like that this has both the kids views and how the ant feels about to be stepped on. The illustrations by Debbie Tilley are so real like. It really helps engage the kid in the book. My kids felt like the words the author wrote lacked something but they didn't know what it was. All in all we enjoyed the story and how it really made us think of what others are thinking.
