War of the Ants

A delightful story, beautifully illustrated, that portrays the importance of self-esteem and confidence in one's ability to overcome adverse conditions. The language throughout the text is aimed to reinforce self-worth concepts in young children. In the story War of the Ants, the author has cleverly illustrated the aspect of bullying and how the ants demonstrated confidence to confront a seemingly more powerful and oppressive opponent and to be victorious in 'battle'.
