Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Long lines of tiny black ants march along a narrow path in a dense forest. They are foraging for food to bring back to a huge mound, which serves as the entrance to their vast underground home. Within the nest are extensive tunnels and chambers where ants raise their young and store food. Welcome to the ants' nest! Clear text and colorful photos and diagrams will engage young readers as they explore the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of these curious creatures. Age-appropriate activities and critical-thinking questions give readers an opportunity to make observations and gain valuable insights.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
