Do Ants Have Uncles? by Janice Garden Macdonald introduces a little ant that explores a traveler’s pack and takes a nap. Although he enjoyed the old man’s singing, the little ant found himself a long way from home. He realized that he was lost and began looking for ways to get back home without getting stepped on or traveling even further away. Meeting new characters along the way, and trying out faster modes of transportation, the little ant’s journey shows how amusing and exciting the world can be. Will the little ant ever find his way home and is anyone from his colony looking for him? Will he ever see his family again, or is he lost for good?
Janice Garden Macdonald has crafted this children’s story with all the elements that will hold the attention of young children. Each of the characters is unique and serves to make the plot easy for children to understand while keeping them entertained. The illustrations give children beautiful pictures that keep pace with the story, allowing them to enjoy following along while being read to, and will encourage them to read the words themselves. Do Ants Have Uncles? could easily become any child’s favorite story no matter what time of day it is. I love the way Macdonald wove the importance of family and friends into this adventurous story. I also loved how the story encourages children not to wander off out of curiosity, teaching them to seek the guidance of an adult that knows their way back home.
