Cute and informative. Alas, ants are not quite as interesting as bees, so this book is not quite as fun as the book on bees by the same author. ( )

Personal Reaction: I actually enjoyed this book and learned a lot also!

I absolutely love that much of the information in this book is squeezed into the illustrations--it makes the book much more interactive and fun! I feel like even I learned so much about ant life just from this small book. It contains everything from different species of ants to the different jobs they carry out and even what they do during depending on what month it is. ( )

The illustrations are intriguing and of actual drawings of ants as the author portrays everything someone could possibly want to know about ants. Very informational.
