And where there are ants, there is probably an anteater nearby.This is a whimsical story about a young ant named Arnie who is determined to save the ant colony from a threatening anteater. He and his pet Rollo find a clever way to rid the anteater from Merkel Mountain forever. A delightful story from start to finish and great entertainment for the entire family.
