Alvin, the ant, is reluctantly putting his home up for sale. The ordeal ends as a charming lesson about life, family, and, memories. Besides being a heart warming tale, this book lends itself to opportunities for learning. To start, it rhymes, which is crucial to language development. It also contains complex vocabulary words.

So many possibilities!

Anthill For Sale would make an excellent addition to any class library.
