    Take a peek under the rock, and discover what we can learn from the world of the ant, in this delightful blend of nonfiction and inspirational humor by author-illustrator Philip Bunting!

    A NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A HORN BOOK BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

    There are ten quadrillion ants in the world, and yet I bet you never thought they could teach you anything. But these tiny creatures can do big things when they work together--just like people!

    With his signature humor and graphic illustrations, Philip Bunting delivers facts, laughs, and heart all in this special book that teaches that the answers to many of life’s biggest questions can be found in your own back yard (once you’re ready to look).
    ★ "This overview of ants combines cleverly designed graphics and a funny text to convey major concepts about the familiar insects." —The Horn Book, starred review

    "Lighthearted and informative." —Kirkus Reviews

    "The Australian author-illustrator blends wordplay, speech bubbles, and humor with solid information to introduce ant life and explain how these insects benefit the planet.” —Booklist

    "Told with humor and short phrases, this is a highly engaging nonfiction for young etymologists." —School Library Journal
    Philip Bunting is an author and illustrator whose work deliberately encourages playful interaction between the reader and child, allowing his books to create a platform for genuine intergenerational engagement and fun. Philip’s books have been translated into multiple languages and published in over thirty countries around the world. Since his first book was published in 2017, Philip has received multiple accolades, including Honours from the Children’s Book Council of Australia and making the list for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2018. He lives with his young family on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. View titles by Philip Bunting
