The Cobbler's Holiday: Or Why Ants Don't Wear Shoes

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-234-5 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eugene Yelchin. In this fresh modern-day fable, Farooqi explains, with wonderful tongue-in-cheek authority, how ants, once shoe-proud, came to be unshod. (It's all because the sole cobbler ant went on permanent vacation.) The art--meticulous vignettes set against lots of white space--is stylish and witty.
