The Berenstain Bears Chapter Book: The Great Ant Attack
About this ebook
The Bear Family thinks they're going out for a lovely afternoon picnic…but little do they know that they're in for a sharp surprise, including some bites to the behind!
Out in the meadow near the Bearsonian museum, a pleasant lunch of honey-cured trout, potato salad, and fresh cherry pie disappears into an army of giant-jawed pests smelling of grape juice. After a science experiment gone wrong unleashes a horde of stinging, breeding ants into Bear County, the Bears are frantic. Can the ants be stopped?
When Farmer Ben discovers the swarm devouring his tractor tires and charging his fields, the entire town goes wild. Not even Mayor Honeypot can stay calm once an eager scout ant finds the seat of his pants at City Hall.
The Berenstain Bears Chapter Books are the perfect next step for increasingly independent young readers.
- Runaway Science Experiment: Professor Actual Factual and his nephew Ferdy breed a ferocious super-ant that chews right through an ant-proof cage at the Bearsonian Institution.

- Ant Expert to the Rescue: Renowned scientist Dr. Minerva Smythe-Jones rushes in from the university to inspect the giant-jawed invaders before they eat all of Bear Country.

About the author
Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 250 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 260 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' interest in children's books has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever. Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books—even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000. Since Stan's death at age eighty-two in 2005, Jan and Mike have continued to write and illustrate wonderful new adventures for Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear. They live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which looks a lot like Bear Country.
