title: Anthill: A Rhyming Short Story Coloring Book
author: Barbara A. Scherek
description: It's a wonderful story to ignite a child's imagination. I really loved this one. I could definitely see this as a great book for first through fourth grade science story time. It was so much fun to read. - Patrice Rosinbaum, Eagan, MN. You grabbed my attention right away, setting a scene of suspense with a seemingly inconsequential action. I enjoyed how you were able to convey some information about the ants' life style by it being part of the story. - Sharon Planer, Annandale, MN. Great imagery! Detailed enough to keep any child entertained for hours at a time, along with a story that will captivate any youngster. -Wally Peterson, Buffalo, MN. This activity book is great fun for anyone who enjoys playful rhymes while creating a colorful world for those determined ants. - Marc Johnson, Minneapolis, MN. A jewel of a story with so many facets to entice both young and old. I can't wait to put my own signature to the lovely illustrations that cry for colored pencils and imagination. - Patricia McDonald, St. Paul, MN.
