K-3Ready-to-Read: Ant Hill series.
Illustrated by
Will Terry.
A class of ant children reenacts the story of the Pilgrims' voyage, their arrival in America, and their first interactions with the native people (well, ants). Beginning readers will be tickled by the rhyming text ("Big ship," said Chip. "With snacks," said Max) and silly premise. The accompanying illustrations are surprisingly rich, and they capture the fun without being too cartoonish.
