A birthday party that keeps growing

Andy plans a small birthday gathering in a busy anthill, where ants collect food, build tunnels and guard the queen. As invitations spread from neighbor to neighbor, the party expands far beyond his plans. The celebration takes a new turn when an unwelcome guest arrives at the anthill and Andy’s home, bringing the ants together to protect the party—and its dips. Birthday festivities, an escalating guest list and a group effort to handle an unexpected disruption shape this picture-book story.

Book overview

"This clever tale about fun-loving, hard-working, and resourceful ants is sure to delight young children." --School Library Journal (starred review)

Andy the ant is planning a small party for his birthday. But as word spreads around the anthill, the guest list grows and grows! Exuberant fun on every colorful page.


It's another busy day at the anthill. Farmer ants collect food, worker ants build tunnels, and soldier ants guard the queen. But for Andy, it's a very special day: his birthday! He invites his neighbors for a fun party with dancing and dips. But unbeknownst to Andy, his neighbors invite a few of their friends, and then those friendsinvite a few of their friends . . . Soon the event is shaping up to be a full-blown mega ant party! Andy is shocked by the turnout, but soon gets into the swing of things. Until, that is, an unwelcome guest crashes the party--and Andy's house!--and the ants must work together to save the day (and the dips). Jovial text and lively, detailed illustrations make this story a comedic delight.
