Based on the beloved animated feature (winner of the NEA's Award of Excellence.) Young Christopher Bee was a respectable member of the hive - until he met Doddsy the pirate ant. Falsely accused of stealing the Queen's crown, Chris is banished, but soon finds his place among an amusing cast of misfits in a world where a patch of clover is a mighty jungle and a backyard pond is a vast ocean. A delightful fable of love and forgiveness, with over 150 color illustrations.
