In his words, Chris Van Allsburg explains an adventure the ants go on: through the woods and up a mountain to find a sparkling treasure. Two Bad Ants is so much fun because the illustrations are essential to truly understanding the story. Two Bad Ants is a great example of how a picture book (with illustrations that tell half of the story) can help older students learn to write with creative word choice. Not only did this book help me when I first read it, but it also has great writing to learn from. Just because we can read chapter books does not mean we need to cut out the picture books! I think it’s a good reminder how picture books can touch the lives of big kids. She helped calm down with a picture book, a new book that had just come in to the library. Somehow, my teacher knew how to reach me on my first truly horrible big kid bad day.
I’ve always had a special space in my heart for Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg because of the memories associated with it.
