Key Selling Points

  • This informative picture book introduces both background information and some of the most fascinating and surprising facts about ants.
  • Each spread introduces a category and awards the “record holding” ant that exhibits the featured trait or behavior. Among them are ants that suck blood, count their steps and have been to space.
  • Lively art, funny speech bubbles and humorous interactions among the illustrations add to the reading experience, making the facts even more memorable.
  • The illustrator grew up around her grandfather, Harry Krogerus, who was an entomologist and famous insect collector.
  • The author, who works as a science journalist, has a PhD in evolutionary biology, and she completed her thesis on the social evolution of ants. She worked as an ant researcher for about six years.
  • The idea for the framework of this “book of records” came about after the author met with groups of children to find out what they most wanted to know. She discovered that many of the questions were framed in superlatives—which is the biggest, scariest, rarest or smartest ant?
