Humor Creates Interest, Leads to Learning
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
My son is not an insect person. But I looked at this book and found it very funny and very clever. The worker ants wear construction helmets, the queen wears a tiara, you get the idea. I brought it home from the library with a bunch of other books on sea life and outer space, my son's usual topics. After initially rejecting the Ant book, he picked it up and then couldn't put it down. We ended up buying it. He loves it. He takes it in the car and is now full of all kinds of fun facts about ants. He has even become interested in bees and other insects as a result. Who knew. Just goes to show you that a funny and clever presentation can get a kid interested in just about anything.

This is a wonderfully illustrated book with great facts about the life and habits of the ants. I highly recommend it for children of reading age who are interested in learning all about insects.

I homeschool my 2nd grade son and we just learned about insects and spiders. This book was PERFECT for learning about ants. Excellent pictures and information about how they live and the different varieties. I even learned a few things I didnt know!
