Title:   I Saw an Ant on the Railroad Track

Comments:  An ant is walking on the railroad track (tickety-tack) and is about to get a whack when it veers off for a snack with switchman Jack.  Can you tell this is a rhyming book?  I also got a non-fiction book on ants and read what ants eat (other than people food) such as seeds, insects and leaves.  It showed a picture of ants attacking an earthworm, to cut up and take back to their colony.  The kids thought it was great.  Many students told me stories about ants, including the ones they have found in their homes. (they're just so honest)
