Educational and entertaining

Written by Ant in journal form. As he grows up, he rotates through all the different jobs in the ant colony and writes about and illustrates his experiences. From stroking an aphid to get the honeydew to fighting off a ladybug attack to rotating eggs in the nursery to rebuilding the nest after a flood, this book will keep you interested and amazed. My daughter loved this book when we got it for her at age 6. At 9, it still fascinates her.

A Great Way for Kids to Learn About Ants!

My 7-year-old son just loved this book. He got it a couple of days ago and asked us to read it to him several times. Now he reads it to us. He is just so fascinated with it. It has prompted him to draw his own pictures of ants and other insects that are written about in the book. It is told in interesting way that is well illustrated, easy to understand and lots of fun to read. My son just loves to read it over and over again. I highly recommend it!
