| 520 | _aAnt ventures by Blanche Elizabeth Wade is a children’s chapter book of animal adventures written in the early 20th century. It follows Anthony Ant, a restless young ant sent on a “change-of-scene” journey prescribed by Dr. Alexander Beetle Bug, as he circles a meadow-world and meets a parade of insects and small creatures. The episodes are whimsical and gently moral, touching on politeness, courage, work, and finding joy beyond grumbling. The opening of this tale shows Anthony sulking over chores until a beetle doctor’s “prescription” sends him traveling with a lunch basket and toiletry case. He loses his hat to a Field Mouse, narrowly escapes a Flicker by diving into an Angleworm’s doorway, ferries a brook on makeshift “boats,” and learns from a fussy Caterpillar not to quarrel. His courtesy to a Ladybug and a small Spider (Size Two) earns him a birthday outing at the Wild-Rose Tea House and a restocked basket; they share a serene chip-boat cruise and a lively insect band concert before he faces the night alone. Swept downstream and bruised, he treats himself with his mother’s supplies, scavenges food, works for a Mole family’s supper, and receives a calming “Night pass” from an August Croaker. A Robin’s theft of a berry whisks him into a tree, where he hides under bark, salvages the berry, meets a Squirrel, a Woodpecker, and tree-dwelling ants, and resumes his trek—ending with a stern Grasshopper’s advice about keeping one’s temper just as he admits he has no hat to “paste” a motto in.
