Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever Mabel’s family just gave her the best news ever - she gets to choose the new family pet! She selects an elephant! 🐘 Mabel is thrilled that her new pet gives big hugs, the best rides, and even has a built-in slide. But when the elephant tramples through the garden and sits on her mom, Mom says, “NOT THAT PET! Choose something SMALLER!” That’s when Mabel chooses ants. 🐜🐜🐜⁣
⁣
It isn’t long before the ants cause problems for another family member and Mabel is left to swap them out for something new. However, with each new pet comes new problems. The animals are too smelly🦨, too scary🕷, too wriggly🪱, and even too prickly🦔. That’s when Mabel comes up with an idea for the PERFECT pet. Will her family agree? The ending might just surprise you!⁣

What kind of animal would make you say, “NOT THAT PET!”?⁣

That’s what the reader must decide after reading Hey, Little Ant. This is one of my all-time favorite books to use for persuasive writing. After reading, kids use text evidence and write whether they want to squish the ant or save it. Then, they top off their writing with a fun kid craft.⁣
