Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Two Bad Ants" was first published over ten years ago, but I somehow overlooked it.This gem is worth adding to your collection of children's books, and it's one that children enjoy hearing over and over again.Best of all, "Two Bad Ants" is a book that YOU won't tire of READING aloud to your kids!!What I love about this book is that Van Allsburg isn't afraid to use big words in a book for children; simplistic books are great for kids who are trying to learn to read, but they need books with more complicated vocabulary in order to increase their understanding of language.Van Allsburg really delivers with this well-written, suspenseful, entertaining tale of two ants who discover a scary world they'd never dreamed existed:a modern kitchen, replete with electrical appliances and the inherent dangers thereof.Van Allsburg delivers the story's message simply and directly on the last page of the book:the ants learn that they belong at home and that will be happiest in their familiar surroundings.The easy life they'd envisioned could be theirs in the strange new indoor world of the house was more dangerous than they could have imagined, and wasn't worth the trouble.
The drawings are simple and clean, and the color-pallette is limited, which makes for fewer distractions.The artwork is really fantastic, but the vivid pictures Van Allsburg draws with his rich, descriptive complex sentences are even more satisfying.This is a book that my children and I will enjoy for years to come.
