In a sandy mound, in a world very close to the ground, a world of grass forests, stones and twigs, lives Little Black Ant. How busy are all the other workers as they dart in and out of the sandy hill. And how full of excitement is each day's journey into the grassy forest.

Hidden under the snowy winter, venturing forth in the first sunshine of spring, gathering the honey through the bloom of summer, making friends with the butterfly, the bumblebee, the moth, suddenly swept by a torrent of rain into an unknown land where she finds a new home, Little Black Ant takes us through the strange happenings, the ant antics of the insect world.

This is a story of real black ants and how they live. Almost how they think. Did you ever stop to think that a little black ant is not always too busy to think!
