would be pretty cool

[Anne with Violets]

Let's be ants. Be a dandelion. Be someone else. Training to see the world from the perspective of another being makes you a "good person".

[Keidra Polite]

Looking at life from an ant's point of view sort of like "A Bug's Life". A baby would be like a giant and a crack would be like the Grand Canyon.It makes students think about how animals feel about certain things. It also make them think about math because they are trying to figure out how much bigger items would look if they were an ant.

Pretend you're an ant and you'll have fun with this book! Such a neat perspective Amy Moses gives these little creatures.
