Ky-Anne's chili is so lip-smacking good that everyone, down to the ants, wants it. But the queen is no match for this girl, who outsmarts them all and gives herself a new tale to tell. A chili recipe and fire-ant facts are included in this tantalizing picture book for young readers.

Jake and his library book are in a mess in this cumulative tale, an adaptation of the classic The House That Jack Built. Repetitive phrases and simple choruses combine with cut paper and fabric collage illustrations that chronicle the events and the helpful librarian who offers book care tips.
