Laurie Rolan | 2 comments My sister read this book in the mid to late 60's. It was about a boy and girl (possibly siblings) that were shrunk and had to live in an ant colony. The "good" ants were the black ones and they smelled like vanilla. The red ants were the "bad" ants, and they smelled like cinnamon.

Thank you so much! My sister will be thrilled. She figured she had zero chance of ever identifying the book, but I told her about this website and what a good job folks do in finding the answer.
