<strong>Two-time Caldecott medal winning author-illustrator Chris Van Allsburg, author of <em>Jumanji</em> and <em>The</em><em>Polar</em><em>Express</em>, brings his signature whimsical storytelling and dazzling artwork to a tale about two ants on the adventure of a lifetime</strong>. <p/> The ants are tired of their humdrum life in the same ant hole, so they're off to the strange new world of a kitchen in search of sugar crystals for their queen. <p/> But when two ants stay behind and take a nap in the sugar bowl, they are in for a wild ride. Falling into a sizzling cup of coffee and a heated stay inside of a toaster is just the beginning for these misbehaved ants. <p/> Will they ever make it back home? <p/> Chris Van Allsburg's terrific story about the consequences of disobeying reminds us all that the comforts of home aren't so bad after all. <br><br><br><b>Author:</b> Chris Van Allsburg<br><b>Publisher:</b> Clarion Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/24/1988<br><b>Pages:</b> 31<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.00lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 11.70h x 8.40w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780395486689<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.7<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>5548 / Two Bad Ants<br><br><b>Award:</b> Georgia Children's Book Award - Winner<br><b>Award:</b> Virginia Readers Choice Award - Winner<br><b>Award:</b> Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Awar
