This book was my favorite for years as a child. I have yet to find a copy, even the copy I read growing up. Every child should read or have it read to them. Good luck finding it!

I read this book to our youngest son as often as we could check it out of the library. It is very fun to read and good for interaction with your child. I too am looking for a copy of this book. My son who is graduating this spring has asked about it. Would make a great graduation gift!

I read this book to my kids when they were little, and they thought it was such a gas! The Green Machine is this little car with no visible driver, that tears around a vegetable garden, and all the veggies talk to each other in rhymes about the car. It's silly, it's green, and it was loads of fun. My oldest is off to college this Fall, and he still thinks it was one of the best kids books he remembers reading. We look it out from the local library so many times it got to be pathetic. I would love to have a copy, if anyone ever finds it.

Very funny riddles and easy to read for beginnning readers. Would like to say that I hope that you get this book even if you aren't getting it for a child, get it for yourself, I did! =-)

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.

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.

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.
