Army Ant Parade
An evocation of an army ant parade set in the rain forest.
One morning there is a strange stillness in the forest. A few birds call. There is a rustling, like rain. Suddenly insects scurry into view. The army ants are coming!
They swarm over the ground in a thick stream, searching for food. Antbirds follow them to eat the insects that flee from the swarm. Most animals escape the army ant attack, but one frog isn't so lucky: it becomes a meal. The hungry army ants move on, and soon the forest is quiet again.
Simple, evocative text and vibrant illustrations capture the drama and excitement of an army ant parade.
