How to Walk an Ant by Cindy Derby - OPTIONAL

How to Walk an Ant by Cindy Derby, PICTURE BOOK Roaring Brook Press, 2019. $18. 9781250162625

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Amariyah is an expert ant walker, and she gives tours! There are 9 steps to walking an ant, including where to find them, how to gain their trust, the best way to use the leash, and what to do if you encounter a whole colony. But the most important step is not getting tangled if you meet another "walker". 

Derby's story is funny and clever, but I didn't love the illustrations. Messy and a little creepy, and also a bit bizarre, it's too weird for me.
