ONLY ANTS FOR ANDY By Jashar Awan Norton, $17.95 (48p) ISBN: 978-1-324-01659-5 This funny, satisfying picture book from the author of What a Lucky Day! gives a fresh spin to a familiar childhood theme: trying new things. Andy is a picky anteater. He loves toys (but only trucks) and music (but only his favorite song). He loves eating ants—in fact, they're the only thing he'll eat. Ants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; ants for every day of the week. Why bother with anything else? When he goes to his best friend Sam Sloth's house for a sleepover, Andy is faced with disaster. Sam's family isn't playing Andy's favorite song in the car. Sam has no trucks to play with—only spaceships. And most devastating of all, they're not having ants for dinner! But as the night goes on, Andy learns that different doesn't necessarily mean bad. "Awan builds Andy's personal discoveries one atop the other, with a steady pace, culminating in a triumphant victory dance....Humorous details in the art will add to the guffaws." -Kirkus Selected for the 2023 & 2024 Choose to Read Ohio Booklist |
