Sometimes it's hard to understand what people really mean. For example, what does it mean if someone tells you there are ants in your pants? Are those small creatures really crawling around in your pants? And how did they get there in the first place?


Franz and Jethro are two "brother" dogs, living with a man and a woman in a house with a fenced-in yard and five acres of land. In her book The Adventures of Franz and Jethro: Ants in the Pants, author Jan Gimlin shares what happens when Jethro is told he has ants in his pants. Of course the first question is where are his pants? Being older and more experienced, Franz clues him in and then they go off to find the source of the ants.


The Adventures of Franz and Jethro: Ants in the Pants is written for children between the ages of four and eight, but people of all ages will enjoy the story and illustrations. This funny tale may make you rethink well-known sayings.
