"I read my 5 year old son Sam the Ant. He often gets distracted while we read together, but this book seemed to draw him in and capture his imagination - I think it's the pacing of the story and the character. He loved the twist at the end. I really appreciated how the book gave me ideas on how to dig deeper into the content with him to create a discussion about the story, and he loved that part as much as the story himself. I've noticed that many kids books are trash...Sam the Ant is the opposite - a well put together story designed to deepen and broaden the mind of a young reader. Recommended!"

"Sam the Ant is an outstanding example of story telling to build developmentally appropriate learning and values for children. Learning is all about the questioning of life's adventures."
Jess W. Gibson, Ph.D. Author, Developmental Psychologist and Educator
Sam the Ant is quite a curious creature. Sam, along with his good friend Sandy, has an adventure of the 'watery' kind. As they face challenge after challenge, Sam and Sandy meet insects that they have never before encountered who offer to help them.
"Time and again Sam and company overcome their initial fear and accept help from someone who is different than they are and in the process discover a whole new community of friends. This book offers the reader the chance to engage the listener with questions that relate to his/her own life experience. The illustrations are delightful and add expressive backdrops for Sam's story. Having the option to read it in either English or Spanish is another big plus. This book would make a wonderful addition to any bookshelf whether in schools or in homes. I look forward to the further adventures of SAM THE ANT!"
