Summary

When one thinks of the strongest animals on Earth, one might consider the gorilla or a grizzly bear. But leafcutter ants are actually some of the strongest when size is taken into consideration. In this book, imaginary match ups between superstrong animals captivate and entertain readers as they learn fun facts about each kind of animal. Full-color images and a playful tone keep learning and thinking about the title question fun even as the content supports classroom learning.
