The Wonderful Wisdom of Ants
Philip Bunting, illustrated by Philip Bunting
This nonfiction book introduces ants through humor and collage illustrations. It begins with things ants enjoy, including family, recycling, short naps, helping others, and carrying objects much larger than themselves. The book then explains the different ants in a colony and their roles, how pheromones help ants communicate, and why ants contribute to healthy soil. Its closing pages return to the earlier observations and suggest ways people might adopt some comparable habits, such as caring for family, wasting less, resting, and helping others.
