Juan Hormiga

"Juan Hormiga is the one red ant among thousands of black ants, but it’s not his being red that sets him apart from the rest of the colony. While every other ant is as industrious as you might expect, busily collecting food or digging tunnels, that’s just not Juan Hormiga’s forté. No, Juan has some extraspecial talents: “If there was one way in which Juan Hormiga was second to none, it was his way of taking a nap.” And he’s a born storyteller. Roldán’s illustrations – whimsical, charming, fun, adorable – show wide-eyed ants at rapt attention. How can the ants possibly work when Juan is telling such wonderful stories? Juan Hormiga is a jewel of a story. It has everything kids want from a book: silliness, adventure (kind of), daring (kind of), a cliffhanger (kind of), a satisfying ending (truly!). (For ages 5 to 8)"
