PreSchool-Grade 1–When Switchman Jack sees a black ant strolling down the railroad track in search of a snack, he tries to reroute a 10-ton freight train. However, the switch is stuck, and, just when readers start to worry that there will be an ant-astrophe, the tale takes a turn: that ant.../made a beeline for my brown lunch sack/as the train whooshed by, screaming.../CLICKETY-CLACK! The story builds effectively to a screeching crescendo, but some of the vocabulary, such as ruin to wrack, might stump children. The big, bold color caricatures have a timeless feel, in keeping with the text. Pamintuan uses changing perspectives to draw readers into the plight of the ant as it is confronted by the enormous smoking train. When the ambling insect spies Jack's sandwich on the ground, it gets a determined look in its eye. The folksy rhyme would be most effective as a read-aloud; in the hands of a talented storyteller, the conflict could take on enormous proportions. |

I purchased the softcover edition at a book fair a several years ago having no idea how great it would be (it has held up nicely despite "the love" we've shown it). My son is 5 1/2, and we just read it again tonight! This is by far one of his all time favorites, and one of mine too! I can't begin to tell you how many times we've read this book - and "I" never get tired of it either! The book is cleverly written and a joy to read with a lot of expression. "And on the horizon, sure as shellac, was a frieght train freighting down the track, heading straight for the ant walking tickety-tack. Ten tons of iron, coal-pitch black! Now what to do? Think quick! Think, Jack! Before that train and ant go whack! So I grabbed the switch and dropped my sack, pulled with my arms, pulled with my back...." It was also a great book for practice counting - my son loved to count the number of "train coaches" and is always amazed at how many coaches there are. I must also say that this book is remarkably and beautifully illustrated, which goes that much further to make the book so great! I actually am here to purchase a hardcover edition as a keepsake, and it dawned on me to add this review. Buy the book!!
