One Hundred Hungry Ants are not what I would want to see trooping to my picnic. But my daughter is fascinated by ants right now - the way that they go about their business despite a giant of a 4 year old looking down on them. Combine that with the number 100, a very large number, indeed, when your day is filled more with single digits, and you've got the mix for an attention-getting story. Under the direction of the littlest ant, the troop of busy brown insects reconfigure themselves in different ways (2 lines of 50, 4 lines of 25) in their hurry to get to the picnic food before it's all gone. The story is a quick little jaunt through ant life and the various configurations of 100. Thanks to the MIT Coop for this entertaining suggestion. 32 pages.
