Description

|
Have you ever wondered why ants don't wear shoes? Once they did, as this fantasy for youngsters 4 to 7 would have it, and they needed three pairs for every sort of activity, including work, outdoor walking, play, parties, and slippers—that's 15 pairs right there, 30 shoes, for one ant. The poor cobbler was the most overworked ant in the colony. Then one day he got smart and left, and that's when all the trouble started. Eugene Yelchin's snobbish ants in fancy party clothes and shoes are hilarious, rendered in three-dimensional shading against a plain white background.
