Amazon.com Review
The wedding of the quite content queen ant and her faithful flying ant fellow is about to begin! Unfortunately, one disaster after another is in store for the passionate pair. First, a foolish fly lets some fruit fall on the groom's head. He insists the ceremony must not cease, so, spattered in purple, the nice nuptials continue. When oatmeal cookies and orangeade are offered to all, it seems as though the day will end perfectly... until the bride has a little mishap herself. "A terrible tragedy is taking place," cry the tearful treehoppers, trembling on a twig. Will the queen--and the day--be saved and the adoring ants allowed to live happily ever after? Pamela Duncan Edwards and illustrator Henry Cole (of Livingstone Mouse and Honk!) have created a hilarious alliterative alphabet book that goes well beyond the standard ABCs. Readers of all ages will be in stitches at the ants' antics. Younger picture-book aesthetes will love the challenge of finding the hidden letter and object on each page. Lush, larger-than-life illustrations of jungle-like grasses and leaves, and the giant yet subtle soda-pop can that provides orangeade drops, remind readers of the complex and complete world that usually goes unnoticed at their feet. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
