The Little Red Ant and the Great Big Crumb

I am a first-grade ESOL teacher in a predominately Hispanic school. This is a great book for bi-lingual children. It is a traditional fable in an Mexican setting. Although written in English, it includes Spanish names for all of the animal and human characters thereby engaging Spanish speaking children and validating their language in a an English-speaking school setting. The children also enjoy the story and are able to determine the lesson or morale--if you believe in yourself, you can accomplish great things. I highly recommend this book, particularly to other ESOL teachers.

Great book but a little long. Good quality for used version.

This book was great for my school purposes. The kids really enjoyed it! It arrived in excellent condition and we have passed it along to other classrooms.

THIS WAS ON THE SUMMER READ CHOICES LIST SO WE GAVE IT A READ!ITS AN EASY CUTE ENOUGH BOOK! NOT A MUST HAVE BUT JUST SOMETHINGFAST TO READ TOGETHER! (it had a funny part which the boys enjoyed)

Great resource for unit on ants to teach ESL for pk-k.

Nicely written and beautifully illustrated children's fable. Everything you want in a children's book. I'm giving it to my grandaughter!

Illustrations are lovely and friendly and the fable is nicely told. For some reason it reminded me a bit of the gruffalo (prob. more like the little red hen!).. Little Red Ant is smaller than the other ants, but finds something they don't - a big cake crumb, but he needs some help to carry it. Noone will help so in the end he realises he CAN lift it himself, eats it and hey presto! he's as big as all the other ants. There are a few essential Spanish words littered throughout, and a nice touch at the back - dictionary/pronunciation at the end for those words. In all, a feel-good book to share with layers of messages for children 5-10.
