Anthony the Amazing Ant: A Tool to Teach About Exceptional Children Timothy King

Anthony was like any other ant except he was born with a physical handicap that made it hard for him to walk unassisted. However, with his walker for support, Anthony was always active and ready for adventure. One day, Anthony's friends set out on a special mission at the request of the Queen Ant, but they didn't invite Anthony because they felt he would walk too slowly. This made Anthony sad, but with his usual excitement and resourcefulness, Anthony was able to save the day when his friends found themselves in trouble. Through an inviting point-of-view and colorful, vivid illustrations, this story shows how exceptional children can be included in any activity and always make a difference and teaches valuable lessons in acceptance and empathy.
