The Ant, the Bird, and the Big Wide World

Author Niels Thorez
Category Children's Books
Keywords Fable
A contemporary fable of travel, new experiences, curiosity, and openness of spirit.

An apartment-dwelling ant has made several trips around the world on a coffee table thanks to its human owners, who are always moving. Proud of her travels, she often lectures on her experiences. But she never gets much of an audience. When a passing bird alights, the ant forces him to listen, going on about geography, boasting of adventures she's only imagined, borrowing details from the photos on display. The bird, who has truly traveled the world, begins to get annoyed. Just who does this ant think she is, anyway? Things are about to get heated! With a theatrical flair to the writing and decidedly contemporary illustrations, this picture book reinvents the classic fable.
