I Saw an Ant on the Railroad Track by Joshua Prince, Illustrated by Macky Pamintuan

This is one of Ricky's favorites - I know I say that a lot- we own lots of books!

This book is terrific - especially for the kids who love trains. This is the story of an ant who decides to walk along a railroad track and does not realize that a train is coming! Switchman Jack is nice enough to save him by switching the track so the train does not run over the ant. The ant and Switchman Jack become friends and share a sandwich. Very cute!

I do have to say that I was very drawn to the illustrations of this book and am curious to read the other books Macky Pamintuan has illustrated.
