Bookroo's summary

A notoriously mean ant, whose presence wilts leaves and shrivels grapes, finds himself lost in the desert. There, he meets an inexplicable fly that challenges his disagreeable nature. As their unexpected encounter unfolds, the ant's world is turned upside down. What happens when the meanest ant meets his match? Discover a tale of humor and transformation in this delightful picture book adventure.

From the publisher

An astonishingly disagreeable ant meets his match in this pitch-perfect picture book comedy from Arthur Yorinks and Sergio Ruzzier. Was there ever an ant as mean as this mean ant? Not likely. This ant is so mean that leaves fall off trees when he walks by. This ant is so mean that grapes shrivel when he looks at them. But when this mean ant finds himself lost in the desert and meets a fly that defies explanation . . . well, nothing is the same again. With this first in a planned trilogy, celebrated picture book creators Arthur Yorinks and Sergio Ruzzier team up for a hilariously slapstick tale that will make a raucous read-aloud for any storytime.
