exciting and fun. Beverly Gerdeman is an expert entomologist who

"I wish I had this book as a child. The graphics, facts, and
stories draw one in to a full experience in the world of ants. I
love how it sets up practical experiments for kids to observe the
ants' behaviors and how they overcome obstacles, defend from
predators, forage, and survive. The book is comprehensive but
inviting in how it balances pictures and information in an easy and
clear way for understanding and in creating a desire to know more.
If you have young scientists and explorers, this is a must-buy."
--Michael K.J. Popovici
"With its engaging text and clear, lively illustrations and photos,
Ants for Kids brings children into the endlessly complex world of
these ubiquitous insects. Although it is targeted at ages 6 to 9,
this book will appeal to a wide range of young readers. Lively
photos and drawings will engage younger pre-readers; abundant
facts, captivating stories, and fun activities will capture the
interest and curiosity of older children." --Sandra S. Myers
