Scooter and the Fire Ant are always looking for exciting and educational things to do. They have many wide-ranging interests, including camping and learning more about animals, their environment, and the history of our great country. In The Journeys of Scooter and the Fire Ant, the two children and their family visit the Lantern Festival in a town in North-Central Texas. The celebration is a daylong event which can be traced to about 2000 years ago in China. The festival symbolizes the reunion of the family and sends millions of lanterns into the night sky to promote peace and love.
