Leaf-Cutting Ants

(4) K-3 Rain Forest Animals series. This nonfiction book offers bare-bones information about these fungus-eating insects. Each double-page spread contains a full-page color photo or diagram and a couple of short sentences. The text is easy to read but dull: "Leaf-cutting ants walk across the forest floor. Many live in huge, underground colonies." The unusual subject recommends this title more than the dry presentation. A short list of websites and a reading list are included. Glos., ind.
