Originally, I heard of this book when reading our textbook and seeing Young et al. (2020) mention it (p. 101). The gimmick of having an ant themed ABC book really appealed to me, so I checked it out from my library. However, once I read it, I was not as impressed by it as Young et al. Chief among the reasons why I felt this way is because of the art. Far and away it was the worst looking book I read in the picture books category. Disgusting artwork aside, I will concede that I learned how Xanthophobia is having a fear of the color yellow. For an English major with a pretty sizable vocabulary, that was an accomplishment in and of itself. In conclusion, although I commend the effort for putting a book together like this by devising ways to connect the alphabet to ants, it did not click for me as I had hoped.… (más)
Hilarious A through Z book using words that all have "ant" in them. It gets pretty difficult at X and Y, so the author comes up with Xanthophile and Your Ant Yetta. The artwork is great, with Flamboyant and Pantaloons being standouts for me.
