I am 11 years old and I read a book called Chocolate Covered Ants. It is really funny.The best part is when one of the boys explodes ants in the microwave. He goes to school and he asks his friends to try the chocolate covered ants. When they do that they got in trouble and they had to eat some more. I also thought it was funny when the ants get loose in the bed, and he comes screaming down the hallway.

Chocolate Covered Ants Review

Chocolate Covered Ants takes place in the home and school of two brothers. The main characters are Max and Adam. The story is about Adam who does not believe people eat chocolate covered ants. Adam has a birthday and gets an ant colony from his aunt. Max makes a bet with Adam that people eat chocolate covered ants. Then when Adam gets his ants he starts to keep Max out of his room. Max goes out to get some of his own ants. Max's friend Larry hears about the bet and tells their mom then the bet is over. I thought Chocolate Covered Ants was a funny book because Max and Adam fight for no big reason. Adam puts ants in Max's bed when he is sleeping. Another funny part was when Larry said, "I have chocolate covered ants". The other reason the book was funny was when Max and Adam's mom finds out about the bet of who can eat the chocolate covered ants. If you like funny books than this is the right book for you.

Funny and cute! Great for kids!

Although I'm a young adult, I still enjoy kids's stories like I did when I was a kid. This book I read a few days ago. I just LOVED IT! It is funny and cute, and well written. I had an ant farm when I was 10. It was a birthday gift from my parents. It was a lot of fun! When we got the ants in the mail I didn't read the directions on how to get them in there so I just tried to dump them in but they got loose all over the kitchen! haha! Somehow I got them inside of the farm, though. I thought I could just pick them up with my hands and one bit me . It was a lot of fun althugh I think I over fed them. We came back from a camping trip and they were all dead. Sad. Anyway this book brought back good memories and made me laugh out loud!

I was glad that I read it because this book was great!

I liked this book because it was interesting to read about Max and his little brother Adam. Adam had a birthday and his Aunt Fran gave him an ant colony. Adam's older brother Max bet him that people eat chocolate covered ants. They bet $13 and Max did not want to loose. Max got caught in school passing chocolate covered ants around and he had to eat them and so did his friend Larry. This book was really fun to read and I suggest you read it so you know the rest of the story. It was funny.
