The other day we got to watch a story called 'Hey Little Ant' written by Phillip Hoose. This was a persuasive text about a little ant trying to convince a BIG boy not to squash him. We REALLY enjoyed the story because it was sung to us! Afterwards we got into quite a debate as to whether or not the little ant should have been squashed! In the end about one third of T4 believed that the little ant should have been squashed and two thirds believed he should have been saved......what do you think?

strong and he feeds baby ants too.

It is like the movie "The Ant Bully". Only the ants shrink the little boy and take him to their colony so he can learn how to be an ant.
