Ant and Honey Bee: A Pair of Friends at Halloween (Candlewick Sparks)
by Megan McDonald (Author) G Brian Karas (Illustrator)
"Sports lively dialogue and humorous details." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Only a few hours left till Cricket's costume party. "What can we be for the dress-up party?" she asked her friend Honey Bee. With a little creativity and a lot of elbow grease, Ant and Honey Bee finally make a perfect, two-things-that-go-together pair of costumes for Cricket's big party. But then -- plip, plip, plip, PLIP! -- it starts to rain, and by the time they arrive, the proud pair looks more like a matching set of soggy sad sacks. Maybe, though, if they put their heads together, the quick-thinking friends can turn their mushy mess into a smashing success. What a pair! Introducing Ant and Honey Bee -- fast friends, co-costume-conspirators, and stars of a delightful story by author Megan McDonald and illustrator G. Brian Karas.
