With a population to rival NYC, they employ builders, farmers, nannies, cleaners, and even pharmacists! Brave foragers venture into the trees to bring back slices of leaf to keep the fungus crops growing, while those at home expand the city’s tunnel network and tend to the young—and the queen, the city’s founder. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether already fascinated by bugs or just discovering them, young readers will be captivated by Amy Hevron’s colorful, inviting illustrations and accessible language. \u003ci\u003eThe City of Leafcutter Ants\u003c\/i\u003e is both informative and fun, robustly researched and approachable, with backmatter for further learning. In walking us through this sprawling ant society, Hevron reminds us that as different as we may feel from a tiny six-legged insect, humans are neither the only nor the first creatures of Earth to organize ourselves into ingenious collective living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn ALSC Notable Children's Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn Evanston Public Library Blueberry Honor Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmy Hevron\u003c\/b\u003e is an illustrator, designer and children’s book author.
