One Hundred Hungry Ants
Author(s): Elinor J. Pinczes
One hundred very hungry ants hurry to sample the delights of a picnic, but instead of marching single file, they divide into smaller rows--a lesson in division and visual introduction to math.
Product Information
A rhyming text describes the progress of one hundred ants marching toward a picnic. To travel faster, one ant suggests dividing into two lines of fifty, then four lines of twenty-five, and finally ten lines of ten. Their frantic reorganization takes so long that the picnic is gone by the time they arrive. The illustrations, which look like linoleum cuts, use a pleasing palette and energetic lines to depict ants with highly individual characters.Horn Book "A first-time author and illustrator are off to an impressive start in this spirited story . . . The unexpected pairing of sophisticated art and light-hearted text lends this book particular distinction." Publishers Weekly
