Ants Don’t Wear Pants! (Giggle and Learn series)

Kevin McCloskey, illustrated by Kevin McCloskey

Two children investigate ants in an underground colony, learning about their anatomy and life cycle. The book looks closely at facts such as ants hearing through their legs and smelling with their antennae; some species can even explode. It takes readers from the anthill’s surface into the colony below, where ant life is presented through a fast-moving comic approach. Cartoon-style paintings on recycled grocery bags illustrate the exploration.
