The Wonderful Wisdom of Ants
by Crown
Take a peek under the rock, and discover what we can learn from the world of the ant, in this delightful blend of nonfiction and inspirational humor by author-illustrator Philip Bunting!
There are ten quadrillion ants in the world, and yet I bet you never thought they could teach you anything. But these tiny creatures can do big things when they work together--just like people!
With his signature humor and graphic illustrations, Philip Bunting delivers facts, laughs, and heart all in this special book that teaches that the answers to many of life’s biggest questions can be found in your own back yard (once you’re ready to look).★ "This overview of ants combines cleverly designed graphics and a funny text to convey major concepts about the familiar insects." —The Horn Book, starred review
"Lighthearted and informative." —Kirkus Reviews
"The Australian author-illustrator blends wordplay, speech bubbles, and humor with solid information to introduce ant life and explain how these insects benefit the planet.” —Booklist
"Told with humor and short phrases, this is a highly engaging nonfiction for young etymologists." —School Library Journal
