Learn from Scout What Ants are All About!

Scout, the talking ant, leads kids on a behind-the-scenes tour of the ant colony's home - an underground nest full of tunnels. Kids learn about how ants communicate, how strong they are, and all the different types of work they do to keep their nest safe, cozy, and well supplied. Young readers learn a little about ant history, too - like the fact that ants' ancestors were around in the time of the dinosaurs! Kids discover on their journey that ants help keep Earth healthy, too!. The visit ends with a chat with the Queen - the mother of every ant in the colony - who has a wonderful surprise for Scout. Sylvie Bordzuk's delightful story in verse and Alex Crump's inspired illustrations will keep young children engaged and wanting to know more about both the tiny creatures at their feet and the fascinating world of Nature in general.
