Leo was not your ordinary ant in the anthill's bustling world. While most ants in his colony were content with the daily grind of gathering food and tending to their tunnels, Leo possessed an insatiable curiosity and an intellect that set him apart from his peers. His deep, thoughtful eyes often wandered beyond the confines of the anthill, and his friends would listen in awe as he shared stories of the world beyond their subterranean home. One sunny morning, as the colony was abuzz with the usual activity, Leo felt a peculiar urge deep within him. He had heard tales of the river bank from older ants who spoke in hushed tones about the wonders and dangers that lay there. Leo had always dreamt of exploring the world beyond, and today, he decided, would be the day he would embark on his first adventure. As he set off, a feeling of excitement and joy enveloped him.

Richly illustrated and delightfully written, Journey to the Ants combines autobiography and scientific lore to convey the excitement and pleasure the study of ants can offer. Bert Hölldobler and E. O. Wilson interweave their personal adventures with the social lives of ants, building, from the first minute observations of childhood, a remarkable account of these abundant insects’ evolutionary achievement.

In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo.

An astonishingly disagreeable ant meets his match in this pitch-perfect picture book comedy from Arthur Yorinks and Sergio Ruzzier. Was there ever an ant as mean as this mean ant? Not likely.

But when this mean ant finds himself lost in the desert and meets a fly that defies explanation . . . well, nothing is the same again.
