The details in the story and the illustrations of what the ants went through just to get to the food was very interesting. My favorite part about the book is realizing how tough worker ants must have it. Response: I really enjoyed Two Bad Ants for a number of reasons.

The two ants got back in line, marched home, and were very happy to be home! The illustrations appear to be done in pen and ink the detailed pictures have a lot of geometric lines and symmetry probably to make the size of the ants to their surroundings pop. Finally, they were so tried they went to sleep in a dark corner and awoke to see the worker ants returned for more sugar crystals. Next, they tried to climb into a outlet and got zapped. Unfortunately, the ants climbed into holes in some bread and got put into the toaster! Once they got out of there, they were drifted away by water in the sink into a garbage disposal.

The next morning, while the two ants were sleeping in the sugar jar, a spoon scoops them up and dumps them in coffee! The ants battle the swirling, hot liquid, and manage to get out.

Two ants decided that this place was heaven, and they wanted to stay behind to enjoy their new found riches. On a trip to collect sugar, the worker ants traveled a long distance at night and traveled up steep mountains to reach the tasty crystals. Summary: Two Bad Ants is a story about an ant community that finds a home with a jar full of sugar.
