What Does An Anteater Eat?

2-5
Quantity

This absurdly funny story, from the bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator, Ross Collins, will have children rolling with laughter.

Anteater is hungry, but he has completely forgotten what anteaters actually eat! Baffled and with his tummy rumbling, he consults the other animals. But Sloth is too busy, Toucan is clueless, and Crocodile has his own mouth full. Maybe the ants will know . . . and maybe the answer isn’t quite as obvious as you may think! Did YOU know that anteaters like bananas?!

A laugh-out-loud silly bedtime story that little ones will want again and again.

From the award-winning creator of There’s a Bear on My Chair, winner of the Amnesty CILIP Honour 2016 and shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2016.

“There’s a touch of Tim Minchin about Collins . . . his tone is funny but heartfelt and a little bit rock’n’roll”- Guardian

Can’t get enough? Look out for more brilliant books by Ross Collins: There’s a Bear on My Chair, There’s a Mouse in My House, This Zoo is Not for You and This is a Dog.
