Story and Craft Kit: 100 Hungry Ants

Join us for special program just for preschool and early elementary families!  You’ll receive a FREE copy of that month’s picture book along with a simple craft kit to complete together after reading.

This month we will read One Hundred Hungry Ants by Elinor J. Pinczes 

Summary: One Hundred Hungry Ants is not only a spirited and whimsical picture book story, it also serves as a fun visual introduction to math. Hi dee ho! It's off to a picnic we go! One hundred very hungry ants hurry to sample the delights of a picnic, but marching in a single file seems too slow for 100 empty stomachs. The smallest ant of all suggests they travel in two rows of 50, four rows of 25 . . . and the division begins. In five-star reviews, both teachers and parents report enjoying this book. As one put "My four-year-old loves this book! It has a silly cute repetitive song, and teaches about division and multiplication."
