**Goodreads member:** Jul 06, 2019; **Melinda Christensen** rated - it was amazing; This book is a "bright and early book" for beginning readers. The Berenstain boy is watching ants working hard, but when they see him eying them, they begin to march across various objects, such as an apple, an acorn, an apricot, an ax and an angleworm. Then the objects begin to get bigger: an airplane, apes' apartments, and all Arizona! The Berenstain wondered aloud, "Why do angry ants advance across all these things?" "Oh-oh, oh-no!" An anteater and an anthill! He's ready to eat! What will the angry ants do now? It will surprise the daylights out of you! I can't tell, but it's the reason the ants climbed over so many things! What a funny book! I'm a grownup and I love the Berenstain Bears books! (5 of 5 Stars)

3. This alphabet book is all about the letter A. A bear watches ants advance across many things that start with the letter A. He follows them to find out where they are going using repetition and alliteration.
4. I think that this is a good book to use with kids learning about the letter A. I think that a few kids might not understand some of the words in the book, so they might need to be explained.
5. This could be used to teach the letter A to children. After reading the book, the kids can list the words in the book that start with the letter A and then come up with their own words. It could also be used to teach alliteration.  (3 of 5 Stars)
**LibraryThing: TUCC |** Sep 9, 2016 |book that focuses on words that just start with the long A or short A sounds. Good introduction to sounds for young children.
**LibraryThing: wickedshizuku |** May 12, 2014; Very cute and short. Amusing to children while expanding their vocabulary by leaps and bounds. If you're a parent you'll want to hide this book at least twice a week. It is tiring after about the fiftieth time you reading it to your kids. Have a great time reading anyhow. (3 of 5 Stars)
**LibraryThing: herebedragons |** Feb 7, 2007; My son enjoyed this book when he was a toddler. Some ants provide most of the action in this book which showcases words beginning with the letter A. (4 of 5 Stars)
**LibraryThing: t1bclasslibrary |** Nov 3, 2006; Ants are advancing across many A words, but why? There is an anteater at the anthill, which they attack when they get there. Good for talking about A sounds and alliteration. (3 of 5 Stars)
