(3) K-3 Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. Ant and Honey Bee, tired of being Pilgrims for Halloween, come up with more creative costumes. This new edition of Ant and Honey Bee: What a Pair! includes expanded text and some new pictures. With its open format, large type, judicious use of repetition, and plentiful, narrative-laden mixed-media illustrations, this book functions well both as a picture book and an easy reader.
