ReviewsA 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., "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."

SynopsisOne hundred hungry ants march off single file to sample a picnic, but when the going gets too slow, they divide into two rows of fifty, then four rows of twenty . . . until they take so long that the picnic is gone!, One Hundred Hungry Ants is not only a spirited and whimsical picture book story, it also serves as a fun visual introduction to math. Hi dee ho! It's off to a picnic we go! One hundred very hungry ants hurry to sample the delights of a picnic, but marching in a single file seems too slow for 100 empty stomachs. The smallest ant of all suggests they travel in two rows of 50, four rows of 25 . . . and the division begins. In five-star reviews, both teachers and parents report enjoying this book. As one put it: "My four-year-old loves this book! It has a silly cute repetitive song, and teaches about division and multiplication."
