What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

While hard at work on her chores, an ant hears the wonderful clickety click chirrup of music coming from the distance. Although she knows she should focus on the task at hand, she can’t help but explore the joyful noise! Award-winning team Rebecca and Ed Emberley bring an entertaining new twist to the classic children’s. The bright, bold graphics seem to dance and leap, as a bunch of boogying bugs start a celebration of their own.

    It's a re-telling of a classic tale, so you might already have something similar in your book collection, but this edition is great! The artwork is interesting and colorful. All in all, it's fun to read and even more fun to look at.
