The perfect tool to help inspire compassion in our world’s youth.”
—Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist

What would you do if the ant you were about to step on looked up and started talking? Would you stop and listen?

KID: Hey, little ant down in the crack,
Can you hear me? Can you talk back?
See my shoe, can you see that?
Well, now it’s gonna squish you flat!
ANT: Please, oh please, do not squish me,
Chang e your mind and let me be,
I’m on my way with a crumb of pie,
Please, oh please, don’t make me die!

A lovely book that also teaches that insects might have feelings too!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 January 2017Verified Purchase
This is a lovely story. We bought it to help to teach our 3 year old daughter that every creature might have feelings and a family. It had the desired effect and inspires thought in a friendly way rather than making them question death!
In hard cover and beautifully illustrated.

I bought it to teach my reception class about caring for the environment during our topic about Mini Beasts. They loved the book and are all treating creepy crawlies a little more carefully.
