Maybelle and the Haunted Cupcake

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Paul Rátz de Tagyos. Bernice the ant insists on treating Maybelle, a cockroach, as her queen. Maybelle thinks she could get used to such treatment, but with Bernice's service comes trouble. While trying to keep hard-working Bernice safe, Maybelle, Bernice, and Henry the flea end up convincing the human inhabitants that their house is haunted. Black-and-white illustrations sprinkled throughout underscore the friendly story's humor.
