Sam with Ants in His Pants written by April Reynolds and illustrated by Katie Kordesh is a wildly clever adventure. Momma tells Sam it’s naptime, but Sam is absolutely not sleepy. He can’t stop moving! Momma says Sam has ants in his pants and he needs to calm down. Instead, Sam opens African Wildlife, his favorite book, and it comes to life. Gazelles, lions, and zebras parade out and into his room! They’re jumping and prowling until there’s a growling. It’s coming from Sam’s tummy. After a snack, he’s finally feeling tired from a crazy fun-filled day. This picture book is perfect for animal lovers and children who resist naptime!
