The Wonder World of Ants Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An animal behavior book for children of 9 give or take a few years, illustrated by the author in black-and-white drawings. The book does a good job of presenting different types of remarkable ant societies: harvesters, farmers, cattle keepers, slave makers, and so on. The author doesn't clutter the text with scientific detail. The presentation is an analogy to human societies.

Product Description:
In many surprising ways ants are like people: both are the only animals who have nations, governments, working people and armies. Reading about the habits and customs of ants is like following the adventures of an explorer in a new and fascinating land. In this book the author, who is well known for his interesting stories of science, takes us into this wonder world of ants and describes the different kinds of ants from the familiar kinds which can be found in any field to the devastating army ants of Africa. There are the hunter ants that grow their own vegetables, the thief ants and the slave-making ants who kidnap the children of other tribes. As in Sunstone's other books by Wilfrid Bronson, the text in this book for young readers is in large, clear type, and there are many illustrations on each page.
