Cool book. I like the idea of having a book read. For kids who don't can't get that at home, I think it may be better than TV. I also like the illustrations. I can't say I'm thrilled with the anthropomorphising though, and the whole bit where the ladybug decides that anorexia is a better choice of action than eating aphids because he/she is uncomfortable about eating the ant's friends. I don't think disney helped anything when he gave animals human attributes, this story isn't helping things much either in that regard.

Kids are confused enough as it is.
