Amazon.co.uk Review
Ants in my Pants is an excellent book, beautifully written and illustrated by newcomer Wendy Mould. A storm is brewing between a mother and her child. Jacob doesn't want to go shopping with his mum. It's cold outside and he doesn't want to get dressed. The battle of wills begins, mum being determined to coax Jacob into getting dressed, but there are problems. Jacob's imagination starts to work overtime: he can't get dressed, as there are ants in his pants, a fox in his socks, geese in his fleece, and lots of other animals lurking in his clothes. Good nature and humour prevail, however, and all is resolved. Children everywhere will adore this book, not only for the amusing story but also for the colourful and life-like illustrations (three years and older). --Susan Naylor

Customer Reviews

Excellent story with superb artwork
A clever addition to the 'fox in socks' genre for pre-school children. In this debut publication the author is both the writer and artist.

Wonderful
Beautifully illustrated, easy to follow story book for pre-schoolers. Just the right length for a bedtime story. A great "real life" topic with some imagination thrown in. The animal pictures are always popular with my daughter. From an educational perspective this has good repetition, rhyming and also a focus on emotions in the pictures and the words. Can't rate it highly enough. Bring it back into print!
