This chapter book about ants is a great book to use in the second grade for science when talking about insects and their environment and how certain ones survive. It is very informational. A great activity would be to go outside and examine an ant or antfile and just write down several observations. Or another activity they could do is color a diagram of an ant and label the parts of the ant.

Para ser un libro pensado para niños es una bomba. Literal.

Comienza con informaciones tan básicas como saber que respiras aire, pero a medida que avanzas, esa llama se enciende y pasa de ser un texto meramente expositivo y aburrido, a un colorido foro de documentación y conocimiento. Eso sí, hay muchas informaciones que quedan para la investigación y comprobación, pero, si la idea era despertar la audacia del lector y que esto en cierto modo le gustase, cumplió su cometido.

Variopinto, atractivo e informativo: Un ejército de hormigas.

I actually learned quite a bit about ants! I thought this was great for students who like insects and nonfiction reading. The illustrations were fantastic and went well with the information.

This story is a non fiction book. Ants are real. They lived before the dinosaurs and they are still here. If there were no ants, there wouldn't be any plants for us to eat like carrots, celery, and other vegetables that grow. And pets will not get any food; there would not be any animals if that happened. That's done. - Auryn, 7yo

This is a great book on ants. It teaches a whole lot that a lot of people, kids and adults, don't know. The pictures are kind of dull, but overall, of you wanted a child to learn about ants, this would be a good starter book.

Good introductory book to the study of ants. Short chapters and just enough "ick" factor to keep young readers interested.
