Ants and Their Nests is a nonfiction book about the different homes that anta build. The close up photographs help you really see the hard work that goes into their nests.

I enjoyed this book because I got to see ants and nests that you don't see in our area. I didn't even know there were yellow ants.

This would be a great book to use when introducing children to nonfiction books. It has all the important parts such as table on contents, subheadings, glossary, more reading, internet listings, and an index. The text is simple but informative. You could take your class for a nature walk around the school to look (not touch) at ant homes. This book would be a great addition to the class ant farm.
