Little Ant and the Butterfly: Appearances Can Be Deceiving

Little Ant thinks that he is the best insect in the world. When he meets the slow caterpillar he is not impressed, and tells her so. But has Little Ant judged her too soon?

This story is a reimagining of Aesop's classic fable, "The Ant and the Chrysalis" and teaches that appearances can be deceiving.

Because Little Ant does not treat the caterpillar very nicely, this is a great story to spark a discussion with your little one about diversity, kindness, and basic manners! Reading this story to your child is also an opportunity to make the connection between what someone does and says and how those things make others feel.
