About the Book
One fine day, an ant begins a march alone. When it begins to rain, he goes underground. There he meets a new friend who joins him in the next adventure.
Each day something new happens, and each day the ants end up back underground, where another new friend decides to join the march. The ants ride on motorcycles, go fishing and swimming, build things with bricks, sail in a hot-air balloon, and gather food together. They share and play with their friends, and then they all go down underground to rest for the night. Every day is a new adventure in the tiny world of ants.
This illustrated children’s story follows a group of ants as they make friends and march along together, trying different activities as they go.
