This represents a Modern Fantasy because the ants in the story talk, which is make-believe and would not happen in real life. This is mostly pretend, but a small bit of truth is there in that the ants are headed to get the remains of a picnic, which happens in real life. It had a strong plot

because the ants were on a mission to reach the picnic site and they continued to try to reach it in the most efficient way. It is a good example of the idea of "if you don't succeed the first time, try try again." This book is most appropriate for the Primary level. The media used in this book was acrilic. Show Less

One Hundred Hungry Ants, its a book about ants trying to get to a pinic to get some food. The littest ant holds them up because they feel that the lines have to many people inorder to get the pinic site in time. Well this does not happen and all the ant get mad. The book shows a little math when

This book is an excellent example of a fantasy picture book because it is about ants and the ants can talk and do mathematics. Ants can do neither of these things in real life.
This story is about a group of 100 ants that are on their way to a picnic to steal food but they are traveling too slow so

review: this is a good example of poetry because it has a rhythm and flow. The rhyming adds to the fun of the book as well. It is a story that incorporates math too (division).

One hundred ants heading to a picnic to get food. They have problems getting there so come up with math groups to walk in. Great book to tie into counting by 1's, 5's and 10's.

Review: This book is a good example of fantasy because it describes the world as we know it and fantasy. It describes how a group of one hundred hungry ants decide how to get to a picnic in the fastest way possible.

Retelling: This book was about one hundred hungry ants marching in a line. They were moving too slow, so the littlest ant kept telling them to make more rows, thinking that that would speed up the process (it didn't).

Summary:
This book is about 100 hungry ants on the hunt for food at a picnic. In an effort to get their faster, they go 2x2,4x4, and so on. This does not help them get their any faster!

Classroom Extensions:
1. Have the students draw their own army of ants marching to a picnic, and what formation they would have them march in, and why.
2. Take the students outside and have them march 2x2, 4x4, and so on to show how the ants did.

This book is about one hundred ants trying to quickly get to a picnic in order to get some food. They keep rearranging the amount of lines they are arranged in, in order to get to the picnic as fast as possible.

Summary:
This book is about a group of 100 hungry ants that are marching to a picnic. First they start marching in one row but are moving way to slow so they make two rows. They keep moving slow so they make more and more rows until they have ten rows with ten ants in each row. They finally reach
Personal Reaction:
I liked this book. I liked the cleverness of adding math to a situation that could be real. I think this would be a great way to start a math lesson and the kids would enjoy it.
Classroom Extension:
1. I would buy a huge box of gold fish from SAM's and give each student a certain number of them each and have them divide them up in rows like the ants did and see how many different problems they could get.
2. I would have the student's write their own math story like the one we just read.

This would be a great book for 1st and 2nd grade! This would be a fun book for the 100th day of school explaining 100 ants and the different ways to get 100. It doesn't give any money or fraction explanation but that the ants can rearrange themselves in different rows and it is still 100

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 single file seems too slow for 100 empty tummies. The smallest ant of all suggests they travel in 2 rows of 50, four rows of 25 . . . and the division begins. One Hundred

The ants make different additive arrays to get to the picnic faster. They rearrange their formation of 100 into smaller and smaller rows.
