"A first-time author and illustrator are off to an impressive start
in this spirited story . . . The unexpected pairing of
sophisticated art and light-hearted text lends this book particular
distinction." Publishers Weekly A rhyming text describes the
progress of one hundred ants marching toward a picnic. To travel
faster, one ant suggests dividing into two lines of fifty, then
four lines of twenty-five, and finally ten lines of ten. Their
frantic reorganization takes so long that the picnic is gone by the
time they arrive. The illustrations, which look like linoleum cuts,
use a pleasing palette and energetic lines to depict ants with
highly individual characters.
