"This inviting look inside an anthill offers upbeat, informative text aptly supported by pleasingly busy cartoon illustrations of cheerful ants happily toiling away at various tasks. The action begins in the spring, where our guide assures us she’s not just sunbathing. She’s actually absorbing as much heat as possible to take back inside and help warm up the interior of her huge home. Our host drives the narrative as she tours the labyrinth-like structure, stressing the importance of every worker and every task in maintaining the integrity of the nest. She introduces guards, cleaners, builders, repairers, babysitters, tenders, foragers, and, of course, the queen. Most of this all-female workforce is tasked with raising and protecting new generations of workers, prompting discussion of ant life cycles and habitats. There’s plenty of information about aphids, diets, developmental stages, communication, defense, and additional aspects, including how new colonies are formed. The action ends as winter approaches, and the community snuggles down for a long nap. This visually enticing title is sure to be popular—expect requests for repeat readings." —Booklist
