An Anty-War Story
Tony Ross
The only ant with his own name, Douglas is born into the wonderful Antworld and dreams of one day joining the line to hunt out food. But his superiors have other plans for him: Douglas is to be a soldier. They tell him his job is all about parading, waving flags and wearing a uniform, but Douglas is about to discover that there is no glory in war. A humbling perspective on the First World War from master-storyteller Tony Ross. 'Uncompromisingly powerful' GUARDIAN 'Layered and shocking; to be read with the knowledge that a conversation on war will surely follow' KIRKUS ‘the perfect way to address the idea of war with children’ ASSOCIATION OF ILLUSTRATORS

Didn’t like the sad ending

It was really great, except for the part at the end when one of the ants turned into the soldier and other human soldiers stopped on their land and killed them.

I didn’t really like this book it was something different to what I normally read and I got confused with words and need mum to help me read some words I thinks this book is better for a older child

SO its a like anty war and douglas was born to be a soldier, but he didn't do anything about the anti-war. One day there was a bomb coming, and the city was destroyed. yes, I will surely recommend this to my friend

This book was about an ant who wanted to carry food, but instead he was a soldier. This book tells you that ants are really easy to squish!
