Ants in Your Pants!
Illustrator: Guy Parker-ReesLeopard was organising his birthday party, a somewhat exclusive one and definitely not for aardvarks or ants. Aardvark doesn’t mind not being invited but not so the ants; they gate-crash the party. Their favourite game soon sees a plethora of pants whirling through the air and the ant-eating antics of the aardvarks (who just happen to be passing) very much in demand.
Just the mention of bare bums and knickers is enough to provoke a paroxysm of giggles from your average three- or four-year-old – most certainly so from my audiences of under fives. However, the rhyming text needs careful perusal to ensure a smooth recitation as it does tend to creak in places. Parker-Rees uses dayglo colours to create a comical confection of curiously clad creatures and ants behaving badly.
