Reviews

[Kaitlyn Elmerick]

Genre: Informational
Grade level: Lower/Intermediate/Upper Elementary
The life of an ant is so interesting! This book is told like a journal, which is very cool! It is very realistic which makes for a fun read, especially for students.

[Jennifer]

Written in the form of a diary, this book tells the story of ants of all kinds, where they live and what they do. Definitely not a good group read aloud, this would be great for kids interested in bugs or doing a report on insects. The illustrations are drawn, accurate, clear, and attractive.

[Nichole]

A journal of an ant- teaching a lot of facts about ants.
