In a rhyming story relayed as a conversation (written originally as a song) and illustrated with loose-lined watercolors, an ant about to be squished under a boy's shoe pleads with him to think twice about his actions. The ending is left unresolved with the question, "What do you think that kid should do?" The message is obvious but may lead to thoughtful discussion. Music is included.
