Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes do you feel like you just can't be still? And does your mother tell you you have ants in your pants? Of course, you know you don't have ants in your pants, even though ants may seem to be lurking just about everywhere else! Penelope Dyan explores the concept of what it means to have ants in your pants, and while you are laughing, you can learn to count to ten. This is a book perfect for either boys or girls, even though it says it is for boys only on the cover, because sometimes even girls have big problems with sitting still. Dyan is a former K-12 teacher and an award winning poet and author who believes in education for all, even if you have trouble sitting still! Enjoy the cute illustrations and the fun poetry and share this book with all of your friends, because this book proves once again that Bellissima really does love kids, even if they do seem to have ants in their pants! Two of Dyan's other little books (that are a lot like this one) have been chosen to be placed in the Saison Poetry Library housing the Arts Council Collection at the Southbank Center, on the fifth floor of the Royal Exhibit Hall, London. You just can't go wrong with a Bellissima Book!
