Hardcover & Paperback
Everyone in the barnyard seems to be heading to the biggest party of the year—everyone except one little blue ant. When his invitation never arrives, he wonders how all of his animal friends could possibly have forgotten about him.
Filled with playful animal characters and plenty of surprises, Party Animals turns one ant’s disappointment into a cheerful celebration of friendship and belonging. Its silly barnyard humor and colorful premise make it a fun read-aloud for young children.
"The author cleverly incorporates the concepts of color and counting into the story. The large, simple figures outlined in black are done in bold, appealing colors, and are placed on equally vivid backgrounds. An excellent resource for teaching concepts, as well as an enjoyable story."
