The giant comic book style ant illustrations on the front cover will grab the prospective  reader’s attention immediately. Then as the reader leisurely studies each ant will he or she discover that three of the ants on the front cover are actually enlarged photographs of ants. This continues throughout the book. It is a wonderful mix of silly verses factual, side by side.

The text describes the the ants life cycle, including jobs and duties from construction, to babysitting, to cleaning, to feeding, to farming fungus, to milking aphids, to building bridges between trees, and to building rafts in flood situations.

Humorously fun while being factually accurate.
