George Allen entertained his grandchildren with the story of an ant that wouldn’t work. His oldest granddaughter, Brittany Clark, begged him to write it down. He wrote the story, then she, now an adult, illustrated it, creating the pictures she visualized as a child. She used simple map colors, the same ones we all used in elementary, Jr. high, and high school.
When Mr. Allen shares his story with young listeners, he tells them, “I’ve only met one ant that wouldn’t work. I had to write a story about him.”
Pete, the lazy main character, feels his family is working him too hard. He leaves home to explore the world promising to be back in the spring. Sure enough, Pete returns in the spring, but he is not the same ant that left the previous fall.
The Ant That Wouldn’t Work is a story children will request to be read over and over and over again. There are thirty-eight pages, half of which are full page pictures of Pete and his adventures in the wide, wide world he is exploring.
The Ant That Wouldn’t Work was published by Fame’s Eternal Books, LLC. Books can be ordered from Amazon or Autographed copies can be ordered from the author george.allen@classicnet.net .
