Two Bad Ants

Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780590297509.

The title characters, while journeying through a human home, decide to exploit a sugar bowl on their own rather than delivering the sugar cubes to the colonys queen (so each of the ants get one sugar cube and so does the queen ant). They experience they land in a cup of coffee, almost get toasted on an English muffin, fall into a sink, get threatened by its garbage disposal unit, and are nearly electrocuted when they enter an electric outlet. Chastened, they rejoin a line of ants carrying sugar cubes back to the colony.
