This is a brand new, previously unpublished Ant and Bee story by original creator Angela Banner! First published in 1950, Ant and Bee were in print for over 40 years. Reissues of this classic series have sold over 70,000 copies. Ant and Bee is a classic brand, and the delightful and much-loved characters are instantly recognisable to thousands of die hard fans today. Ant and Bee teach children to read via word recognition and encourage story sharing with siblings and parents. When Ant and Bee find some old wooden paintbrushes they decide to make some rafts and go sailing. Ant thinks they will need a million paintbrushes, but Bee says they only have 100. From that moment on, Ant just can't get the idea of finding enough things to 'make a million' out of his head, much to Bee's frustration!
