Summary
This tale of ants parading toward a picnic is &“one of those rare gems capable of entertaining while it instructs&” (Middlesex News). One hundred hungry ants march off single file to sample a picnic, but when the going gets… too slow, they divide into two rows of fifty, then four rows of twenty-five . . . until they take so long that the picnic is gone! &“The unexpected pairing of sophisticated art and light-hearted text lends this book particular distinction.&” —Publishers Weekly &“The illustrations . . . use a pleasing palette and energetic lines to depict ants with highly individual characters.&” —Horn Book
