Ernestina the Ant Cristina Casas Palmer Ph D

When Ernestina, a tiny little ant, visits the doctor, she finds her friend Boris the mouse waiting to see him too. Ernestina the Ant is a simple, entertaining story about self-acceptance and the value of friendship. The activities that follow the story encourage children to record their impressions, express how the story reflects things they have experienced, and generate ways to deal with their own worries. There are also puzzles, space for original drawings, and a list of vocabulary words. Parents, teachers, counselors, and school nurses will find the book a helpful resource for promoting positive social, problem-solving, and coping skills in children.
