What Ants Do On Very Dry Days

Recommended for ages 3 and up

Andi and Johnny were the best of friends and did everything together. But as they grew up, their different abilities kept them apart. Johnny became an Awesome Ant who provided for the colony and was hailed as a hero. Andi worked underground, was looked down upon and forgotten. 

One day, the rains stopped and the land became very dry. The Awesome Ants went in search of water. They dug underground but lost their way in the darkness. With the hero ants in trouble, would this mean the end of the colony?
