Little Ant and the Dove: One Good Turn Deserves Another — S.M.R. Saia

Little Ant is too busy to do a favor for the weevil, and he doubts the weevil would ever be able to repay him anyway. But when his friend the stick insect is snatched by a dove, Little Ant learns that you never know when you might be in a position to help a friend. This story is a reimagining of Aesop's classic fable, "The Ant and the Dove," and teaches that one good turn deserves another. The Little Ant books are reimaginings of Aesop's classic fables, teaching timeless lessons like “appearances can be deceiving” and “one good turn deserves another.” Brought to life by Tina Perko's vibrant and whimsical illustrations, the stories follow Little Ant as he navigates through the challenges and frustrations of growing up.
