This book is about
The children are making an eco garden at school. While digging they decide to enter a rabbit hole. They set off down the tunnel and get to a pile of earth that is blocking their path. They move it with their hands and find an ant chamber.
In the ant chamber they see worker ants, eggs and maggots. The ants try to carry Ant to another chamber. Ant takes a photo of the queen ant and the flash startles her. Ant escapes.
The children try to get out of the tunnel, but are blocked. A rabbit appears and scares away the ants. The children follow the rabbit along a different tunnel and reach daylight.
The main characters are
Ant, Tiger, Cat and Max.
My favourite part of the book is
When the ants are scare off by the rabbit.
I would also like to say
I do not think it was a good idea for the children to have gone into the tunnel.
