I Have Ants in My Pants

Oh this was such an amazing book! I loved all the bright pictures and the rhyming words. What a wonderful message for children but also for teachers/parents. As a current homeschool teacher I know the signs of “ants in the pants” and the language the author used to explain what the child was feeling was phenomenal. I will definitely be adding this title to my children’s TBR list! It’s fun and had a great message. And it will keep them entertained because they can practice getting their wiggles out too just like Louis!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

A mom to 3 young kids and an elementary teacher, Julia Cook is a go to for books about personal space, social learning, and behaviour. She is a super talented author who has once again created the perfect book. Louis is a kid who just can't be still and constantly seems to hear the phrase that he has "ants in his pant". The books gives some examples that many kids will relate to. It also shows how Louis learns to have more control over his body. At the end of the book there are suggestions and tips that will be useful to most caregivers who have a little Louis in their life.

I can't wait to add this one to my teacher library!

Julia Cook’s books are always a hit she knows exactly how to speak to children to get them to understand. This book is about a boy that has trouble sitting still, everyone keeps telling him he has ants in his pants. He just doesn’t quite understand what that means. This book goes over what that means as well as giving suggestions on how to sit still better. This would be a great book to use in the classroom classroom. It also gives great suggestions for adults on how to help children.

Oh my goodness! I loved this book! My ten year old old....who not only has ants in his pants, but has colonies of ants in his pants thought it was hilarious!
