Summary: I Once Was Lost , But Now I'm Found
Review: My mom read this book to me when I was a child. When I learned to read, I read it to her. Over time, the book became tattered (from excessive reading) and then lost. The last time I remember seeing my book was when I was 5 years old, (I will be 35 soon). Periodically, over 30 years I have searched for this book as it was my favorite. Both my mom and I, like many of the other reviewers, have used phrases from the book from time to time. For example: When she asked me to do something, I would jokingly say "I can't said the ant", to which she would reply "Please try said the pie". I am so very happy that I now have the opportunity to re-acquire this wonderful book.

Summary: wonderful rhyming book
Review: My sister had this book, and I am so upset that she cannot locate it. I have phrases that are stuck in my mind, like: "What's all the clatter?" said the platter. "Teapot fell," said the dinner bell. "Pick her up," said the cup."I can't," said the ant."Please try," said the pie."You must," said the crust."Don't be dumb," said the crumb.It is very imaginative, and I wish I could read it to my children.

Summary: Great for Homeschoolers too!
Review: Not only is this book super clever, but a great way to teach your kid's about rhyming. It also is a good tool for character study as most of the characters are caring, concerned, and encouraging, and work together to fix their broken teapot friend. We got this book when my daughter was three. She loved it then, and now at 4 1/2 still likes it, and I suspect it will be a favorite for quite awhile.

Summary: I Can't Said The Ant
Review: You know I was sitting here going though a book order form from my daughters school and I remembered when I used to get them when I was in kinergarten. Which got me to thinking of my favorite book, I always checked out when my mom would take me to the public library, "I Can't Said The Ant". I would sit there for hours reading the story and enjoying the rhyming all the way through... :) I wish I had boughten a copy of it when I was younger, and I am also sad to hear it is out of print, such a wonderful book for kids should be brought back to print. I know my children would love to hear the story everynight just as I liked to when I was a child, I know I would love to read the story everynight.
