Editorial Reviews

A creative reframing of a fable of Aesop, with fresh, bright illustrations filled with energy and feeling...delivers its lesson in tolerance of differences and harmonious cooperation in the wise spirit originally intended, with a delightful new presentation. "Little Ant and the Butterfly" is full of fresh appeal for young readers still engaged in the lasting wisdom of the fables' morality. ~ Midwest Book Review
