The Adventures of Timothy Termite

Timothy starts out as an egg in an African termite mound. As time passes, he will follow the complex social system of his kind and explore ever more of his underground world through a series of adventures and mishaps, culminating in an epic battle with the terrible Black Ants. Authored by soil scientist Peter Hesse, this delightful tale written over 50 years ago expertly introduces young readers to the fascinating world of termite natural history and ecology.
