It's Great to Have Ants in Your Pants

By Susan M Campbell

It's Great to Have Ants in Your Pants" is a lively rhyming celebration of active, curious kids who spend from morning to night moving and exploring, fueled by energy and imagination. This joyful picture book for children 3-8 has whimsical illustrations of kids leaping out of bed, eager to get going and not stopping until the sun goes down. Ants march through every page, modeling activities for children to do. The story helps children realize their boundless energy is something to be proud of, not to tame.

With warmth and humor, it invites parents, educators, and caregivers to reframe "antsy " behavior as an exceptional gift worth nurturing. Children are encouraged to love their active selves, and continue to live healthy lives, filled with movement and adventure. Instead of worrying about their impossibly on- the- go kids, or finding ways to quiet their students, Moms, Dads and teachers can visualize how these kids will grow into healthy, productive adults. Children are encouraged to love their active selves, and continue to live healthy lives, filled with movement and adventure. While other books tell kids struggling with ants in their pants how to control their wiggles, calm themselves down, and sit still, this book celebrates kids who are lucky enough to have ants in their pants.

Research shows that activity and movement are vital to growth and development and contribute to long-term health and happiness. Children should be applauded, not reprimanded, for expending their energy in productive ways. This is a vital message for teachers and parents.
