To squish or not to squish? What would you do if the ant you were about to step on looked up and started talking? Would you stop and listen? What if your friends saw you hesitate? That's what happens in this funny, thought-provoking book. Originally a song by father-daughter team, this conversation between two creatures, large and small, is bound to inspire important discussions about tolerance, bullying, peer pressure and empathy. It might even answerthat classic question: to squish or not to squish?
