Little Ant's Valentine: Even the Wildest Can Be Tamed By Love in Bloomington, MN

Little Ant hates Valentine's Day. None of the girls in the anthill like him, so he has nothing to celebrate. Then he meets the pretty ant. She is as stuck-up and unfriendly as Little Ant himself can sometimes be - but who says you have to be perfect to deserve a valentine?
This is an original story that illustrates Aesop's moral: Even the wildest can be tamed by love.
About the Series
The Little Ant Books were created with
social emotional learning (SEL)
in mind. Kids learn best by example. Little Ant often acts on his big feelings before taking a moment to think about what he is doing. As they see Little Ant learn from his mistakes, kids will develop a deeper understanding of their own emotions. The stories can be used as a learning tool to help kids discover the small gap that exists between feeling and acting - a gap in which thinking and choosing how we want to behave is possible, no matter how we feel.
The stories are reimaginings of Aesop's classic fables, teaching timeless lessons like "appearances can be deceiving" and "one good turn deserves another." Brought to life by Tina Perko's vibrant and whimsical illustrations, they follow Little Ant as he navigates through the challenges and frustrations of growing up. Little Ant's adventures provide him with opportunities to build character and learn valuable lessons about
friendship
,
kindness
empathy
teamwork
courage
, and the importance of
being yourself
