Army Ant Parade

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Rick Chrustowski. Introducing the inhabitants of a Panamanian rainforest, Sayre helps readers to observe clues indicating the approach of a swarm of hungry army ants. When the ants arrive, the action shifts between the swarm and its hunt for food and the repercussions on other animals' food gathering. The richly colored illustrations focus on the ground-level activity. A list of further resources would have been helpful.
