My son loves this book
I actually read this before reading "I Saw an Ant on the Railroad Track," and I found this one far more creative and engaging. My son did not like "I Saw an Ant on the Railroad Track" nearly as much. The rhymes are clever and cute, and the illustrations are funny and supportive of the story. This is my 5 year old's new favorite book.

Don't expect same magic as "Ant on a Railroad Track"
I have to agree with the other reviewers. I regard "I Saw an ant On a Railroad Track" as one of the most brilliant children's books ever, and this one tries but falls short. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad--still a jaunty rhyme, still some suspense, still fun--but the poem in this book is somewhat contrived and way too sophisticated and abstract for kids. Ant on a...

Don't expect same magic as "Ant on a Railroad Track",
By Tracy (Mason, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Saw an Ant in a Parking Lot (Hardcover)
I have to agree with the other reviewers. I regard "I Saw an ant On a Railroad Track" as one of the most brilliant children's books ever, and this one tries but falls short. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad--still a jaunty rhyme, still some suspense, still fun--but the poem in this book is somewhat contrived and way too sophisticated and abstract for kids. Ant on a Railroad Track is perfect--suspenseful, fun, heartwarming and the rhyming is flawless and easy to understand. Both books have incredible animations. If you haven't read the original, buy it and read it out loud to someone--you'll see the magic.

This review is from: I Saw an Ant in a Parking Lot (Hardcover)
I got this book because we love, love, love "I Saw An Ant on the Railroad Track." But this one falls a little short. My 3 year old can't follow it as well. Still a cute book but maybe for older kids.

As the sequel to "I Saw an Ant on the Railroad Track" this book is a tad disappointing. While the illustrations are as beautiful, entertaining, and interesting, the poetry is a bit more forced than in the first book (which was excellent, by the way). Overall, it's a good read for someone who liked the first one and wants something similar, but be prepared to find it a bit less intriguing than the first. After this one, I would still look to buy a third in this series, but I would read it in the bookstore first to be sure.

Just as cute, clever and brilliantly illustrated as "I Saw an Ant on a Railroad Track". My toddler loves these books and I have fun with the rhymes while reading to him.
