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.
