| Description | Amos likes to help all creatures. He finds a female cricket with a broken leg. He takes her to a spider friend and asks for a piece of spider web so he can wrap the cricket's leg. On the way home Amos sees a big stream of water that they cannot cross. Amos asks another friend for help. The friend is a very mean army ant. However, the army ant owes Amos a favor and agrees to help. His army builds a bridge over the stream allowing Amos and the cricket to cross over. |

Ellen Paugh –
AMOS the Helpful Leafcutter Ant is a beautiful and brightly colored book written in the style of a comic book. This makes interesting reading for young readers who can follow the dialog between the characters while looking at the vibrant illustrations. There’s a scary looking spider who proves to be a helpful friend. Also, another species of ant who sets aside differences to help rescue the injured cricket. AMOS the Leafcutter Ant demonstrates helping others despite differences.
