Among the 10,000 kinds of ants, diggers and builders may be the most interesting, with theft ability to lift 50 times their weight, their labor divisions, and their communication links. Through four-color cartoons that smartly withhold personalities from the insects, readers peek inside tunnels created for varying weather conditions, Once they're hooked, there's information about food processing, caring for eggs, and the roles of harvester and queen ants, as well as sections on other types of ants and instructions for building an ant farm. All serve to trade fright for respect, perhaps fascination. This behind-the-scenes story of a deceptively simple hill should build interest in observing both city and country ants. (Kirkus Reviews)
Did you know that ants have jobs? Ants may not look like they are doing anything important, but each ant that lives in a hill has a special job, whether it is cleaning the nest, digging new tunnels or gathering food. And in each ant city there is a queen ant who is busy laying eggs.

In this popular Stage 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science book, Arthur Dorros explores the fascinating and complex ways in which these industrious insects work together to keep their ant cities alive.
