Join Anthony Ant As He travels Around The World!

Hi! My name is Anthony Ant, and I love to go places. When I travel, I can fit into some pretty small spaces. Once I curled up in a suitcase, snug as could be. When I came out, I was in Egypt ---whoopee!

REVIEW
Red Ant Clip Art

The author has written a charming little story where children can travel the world with a little friend, Anthony Ant. He travels in a suitcase. In this book he is traveling to Egypt and there he makes a new friend with a beetle named Babu. Babu shows him all the sites. The author included colorful pictures to go along with the story. Children love learning about new places, especially when they have a little friend to do it with. They will learn a lot about Egypt while following Anthony in his travels. The author wrote it in a rhyming form which keeps the child's attention even more, and makes it more fun. Pick up a copy of ANTHONY ANT GOES TO EGYPT and travel with him.

I was given a complimentary copy of ANTHONY ANT GOES TO EGYPT from the author, Julie Bettendorf for my view of the book.

I would give this book 5 ANTS.
