Ant Cities (Lets Read and Find Out Books) (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2)

We bought this book as a companion to an ant farm. It's very educational, well written and nicely illustrated. There is quite a lot of information about ant colonies, including the life cycles of the ant, how they communicate, and their communities. The book is recommended for ages 5 to 9, and I agree that's right on target. The amount and content of some of the information was above my three year old's comprehension, but it held his interest none the less. Great for now and for growing with. I think this one have a long-lived home in our bookshelf.

This book is a must for studying ants. I owned it once, but it got lost. So I had to order it again since no unit on ants is complete without this book. It shows different rooms inside the ant hill down below. I also do an art project where the children cut out the inside of the an anthill using the large construction paper. Using scissors cut in and out making long and short curvey strips keeping the construction paper in one piece. You will see the whole picture after you read the book. This is an excellent book to show all the different jobs the worker ants perform in their homes, from the nursery to the grave yard.

We did a live ant hill and this book prepared them for the visuals before our ants began tunneling. Pictures are wonderfully illustrated.

I purchased this book along with an ant farm for my 3 year old bug fanantic and it was a huge hit! It is a great book to read to them and he also will look through it himself. Teaches lots of facts about different types of ants, including their habitats. He even chose to take to show and tell at school and the prek kids all enjoyed hearing about ants. I'm excited to order more books in this series.

I like most of the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science books. They're really good and easy for kids to understand. This book is thorough so younger kids might fine it hard to sit through, but it's a great book.

This is a very nice and informative book. I got it for my nephew who is 7 and he really enjoyed it. I bought it to go along with the ant farm I gave to him for his birthday. It was on back order but he still was intrigued with it when it came.

Fascinating information about fascinating creatures! Paired this with Fascinations Antworks Illuminations Blue ant farm from Amazon! Great gift idea! I learned a lot from this book that I shared with my grandson prior to the live ants arriving. We were ready to fully enjoy them when they arrived and started creating their work of art in the beautiful blue NASA gel. Highly recommend this book ( and the ant farm!! )

Bought this to go along with ant farm for my 5 year old. Just what I was looking for -- easy to follow, not too technical but not silly, intereting, and engaging. Wonderfully illustrated.

My wife and son liked it very much
