Filled with whimsy and wisdom—and based on the true behaviors of the hermit crab—this modern classic features Eric Carle’s trademark vibrant collage illustrations and lively text that make for an enjoyable read.

Come outside and read a family friendly book while on a short and easy hike!  The free 1 mile story trail starts from the Oak Point Farm parking lot kiosk and can be completed anytime during daylight hours. The current story trail features the book “Hey\, Little Ant” by Phillip and Hannah Hoose. Written first as a song by a father and daughter\, this illustrated book features the dialogue of a plucky ant and the kid about to carelessly squish it. Tension builds as the ant states a compelling case for its survival while the kid’s friends gather round to taunt the kid for hesitating. The final line of the book is a question–“What do you think that kid should do?”–leaving the decision squarely in the hands of the reader. Because the book asks children to decide the outcome\, it has been widely used by educators and caregivers to discuss everything from bullying to the ethical treatment of animals. The BRLT Story Trail Walk will feature a new book every few weeks throughout the pandemic at Oak Point Farm.
