This is a little non-fiction book on ants that they used on Reading Rainbow. I have to say that the facts and information is really good and it's interesting to see how the ants live. They did a great job writing the story and making it interesting. The artwork does let you see inside the hill and it does it's job, but the artwork is horrible. I feel its still a good book, but I wish the artwork was better. It would just help make it better.

The nephew has had an ant farm one Christmas. He thought this book a little slow, but he remember the ant farm and he thought that was fun. He said he learned what they were doing now.

I want to know, how they keep the water out of the mound when it rains. The main tunnel goes all the way to the bottom. They most block up the hole somehow.
