Amanda the Anteater Charms Young Readers New Book by Construction Contractor Matt Rufo Makes Reading and Phonics an Adventure Anteaters, avocados, apples and asparagus––Matthew (Matt) Rufo’s third children’s book, Amanda the Anteater Stops Eating Ants, awes young readers with amazing alliteration! “Amanda and all her anteater friends always awoke with ants as their most important agenda item of the day… …As a typical day advanced for Amanda with the ants, alternative ideas entered her thoughts.” In this new book, Amanda happens upon an avocado, adding to her limited repertoire of foods to fill her appetite. But do her fellow anteaters approve? Will they be accepting of her new palate? Amanda the Anteater author Matthew Rufo understands the risks and rewards of acting on adventurous impulses. As the long-time owner and operator of Everything Quality Construction in Framingham, Mass., he decided to follow his dream of writing for children during the COVID-19 pandemic with the release of two Freddie the Frog books, which also emphasize phonics. Both Amanda the Anteater and Freddie the Frog are appealing to toddlers, preschoolers and elementary school children learning remotely or staying entertained during the summer. Children also love the colorful illustrations by Kalpart. “I am thrilled to introduce my newest character, Amanda the Anteater,” said Mr. Rufo. “I hope she will encourage children to approach all the opportunities life offers.” Amanda the Anteater includes activity pages that help children to get creative, share their own interpretation of the character and practice their letters. The book is available through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Strategic Publishing Group, LLC (ISBN: 978-1-68235-467-4). Families can also meet Matt Rufo and stay up-to-date on Facebook.
