One Mean Ant

One Mean Ant introduces readers to an exceptionally grumpy ant whose bad attitude affects everything around him. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself stranded in the vast desert and encounters a mysterious, unexplainable fly. This encounter challenges the ant's ingrained meanness, leading to a transformation that promises to change his perspective. Arthur Yorinks and Sergio Ruzzier deliver a laugh-out-loud, slapstick tale perfect for reading aloud, exploring themes of kindness, unexpected friendship, and the power of encountering someone truly different. It's the first book in a planned trilogy, suitable for children aged 4-11.

An astonishingly disagreeable ant meets his match in this pitch-perfect picture book comedy from Arthur Yorinks and Sergio Ruzzier. Was there ever an ant as mean as this mean ant? Not likely. This ant is so mean that leaves fall off trees when he walks by. This ant is so mean that grapes shrivel when he looks at them. But when this mean ant finds himself lost in the desert and meets a fly that defies explanation . . . well, nothing is the same again. With this first in a planned trilogy, celebrated picture book creators Arthur Yorinks and Sergio Ruzzier team up for a hilariously slapstick tale that will make a raucous read-aloud for any storytime.
