19th November World Anteater Day Celebrating Ants



I have written about anteaters before, here, and there has not been a lot more anteater picture books since then, so that got me thinking about 'ants' and how many wonderful books there is about them.

There is a day to celebrate anteaters, but there is no official holiday called "Ant Day". I think that's sad. Other insects and mini beasts have their own day, why not ants? Even termites who are often called white ants when they are not true ants have their own day. The 17th August is Termites Awareness Day. 
So I'm making this Anteater and Ant Day and putting together a display in the library about them both!
There is quite a choice when it comes to ant books, even some stories.
