This book is about an ant that starts out his day on a hammock in the shade. As the day goes by, several friends come by and ask to join him. The ant pleasantly tells them, "There's always room for one more friend". No matter the size of his friends or how many friends were in the hammock, the ant never turns away a friend!
I loved this book! The illustrations were very cute! I actually liked the repetition of words in this book, it was very well worded. The book gives a good message.
This book could be used at any time during the school year. This book can be used to encourage students to play with all of their friends. You can always change up your game so that another friend can join.

This is a story about a cow with a hammack in his backyard. One by one different animals come wanting to lay in the hammack. There is always room for one more, or is there? :}

This book is basically The Mitten in English, with a kind and clever lesson at the end! I plan to use this for a compare and contrast lesson when we bridge from Spanish reading to English soon!
