This is a helpful, engaging book to teach young kids self control and awareness of their bodies. I liked the tone and how being active and wiggly is normalized. A list of helpful tips and strategies are listed at the end for parents.

Thank you NetGalley for providing this ARC.

What a great rhyming story teaching children the meaning behind "ants in your pants" and how to control your wiggles. I think this will really help kids and their parents as they work on learning what it means to sit still.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very entertaining storybook about a boy who was very antsy when there wasn't much to do and the way he learned to control his urge to move around. Perfect for young kids who just can't stay still.

Oh this was such an amazing book! I loved all the bright pictures and the rhyming words. What a wonderful message for children but also for teachers/parents. As a current homeschool teacher I know the signs of “ants in the pants” and the language the author used to explain what the child was feeling was phenomenal. I will definitely be adding this title to my children’s TBR list! It’s fun and had a great message. And it will keep them entertained because they can practice getting their wiggles out too just like Louis!

This is a great book for explaining and normalizing the wiggles and making kids feel less bad or embarrassed for their uncontrollable movements or sudden outbursts. It is relatable for children who can't sit still for long periods of time or who get distracted easily. The tips offered are a great way to teach manners and respect for others, eg: "Try hard not to talk while others are speaking".... It would look better if the book typeface matched the cover typeface - the book typeface is too serious. The illustrations are cute and the rhymes are fun. I would recommend this book.

Five stars. A gently-told, charmingly-illustrated, light-hearted, engaging tale for all children, not just those with "ants in their pants." A book to encourage wiggly kids and their peers. Tips for parents and teachers are offered on the back page. A fun, rhyming read.

This is a super cute book on how to teach kids to be still! I feel like kids of all ages would read this book because those who need a little extra help being still will finally feel like someone understands them. The artwork was cute and even being 23 years old I was entertained. When I worked at the daycare I worked at I definitely would’ve read this book to my students!
