An Ant's Day Off

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nina Laden. Bart, a hardworking sand ant, risks taking the day off from his underground job, later inspiring his fellow worker to do the same. Bart experiences the pleasures and perils of the outdoors, enjoying the sun's warmth and encountering two hungry frogs and a bee. Earth-toned pastel illustrations depicting oversize plant and animal life aptly convey the ant's point of view.
