The Adventures of Mr. Ant

By Brenda Shores and Lloyd Shores

This is a collection of bedtime stories told to my children when they were young. They wanted something new, so I invented the main character, Mr. Ant. He is an adventurous ant. Not willing to settle for normal ant life, he starts on an adventure. He makes friends, overcomes problems, and makes interesting discoveries that lead to fun and unexpected adventures.

It is filled with lots of adventures, with some good morals on the side. Mr. Ant shows us that we can learn new things and have fun while learning. It shows that friendship does not depend upon being the same but upon a willingness to accept to others as they are. Sometimes being a friend is an adventure of its own.
