An intrepid little ant sets out on an adventure in this charming picture book, which is full of earthwormly delights. Though very happy in the Tomato Bed, where she lives with her aunts, Addie Ant has always longed to cross the garden, to the far side of the shed and its fruit and flowerbeds. With helpful directions from Lewis, a ladybird, including his delightful floral descriptions, Addie makes her way past the Cucumber Bed and reaches her destination. Millions of flowers are abloom, she thinks, and Beatrix Butterfly is gorgeous in the middle, spreading her velvety wings.
The descriptions of the fruits are certain to set all mouths watering, and they look more than good enough to eat in Kelly Anne Dalton’s elegant yet characterful illustrations. As night falls, colours turning from browns and greens to blues and purples, Addie gets a special lift home. A delicious hymn to fruits, flowers and vegetables, the story will send young readers out into the garden to explore, and is bound to fill them with the confidence to be as independent as little Addie too.
