Ants In Your Pants, Worms In Your Plants!

by Diane deGroat

Summary: Gilbert seems to be the only one in his class who cannot think of any ideas for an Earth Day project.

I like how Gilbert’s parents encourage him to come up with his own ideas. They suggest relaxing and walking in order to clear his mind which eventually leads to an idea. This is an important lesson to overachievers with anxiety. Of course, as the title suggests, this book can be used to discuss the environment and going green.
