Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–A charming book. Ant and Honey Bee are invited to Cricket's annual costume party and decide to dress up as a pair, a washer and a dryer. They cut out and decorate matching boxes, but on the way to the gathering, the other insects can't guess what they are supposed to be even when they make washer and dryer sounds. When a rainstorm hits, their cardboard costumes are ruined–until they quickly improvise new ones. The clever writing is filled with puns and lighthearted jokes. Karas's artwork, done in gouache, acrylic, and pencil, is simple and engaging, adding warmth and humor to the story. Children will enjoy reading about how friendships can help them to survive any disaster.–Sheilah Kosco, Rapides Parish Library, Alexandria, LA

PreS-Gr. 2. Determined not to dress up as pilgrims again for Cricket's annual costume party, Ant and Honey Bee consider a number of unusual ideas (pear and stem, peanut butter and jelly, toilet paper and toilet) before deciding to go as a washer and dryer. As they walk to the party, rain turns their boxy costumes to "soggy blobs of wet cardboard," but quick-witted Honey Bee and Ant have an answer for everything, including that pesky "What are you?" query. Childlike and sympathetic, the characters' antics and conversations will have broad appeal. Karas' expressive pencil drawings, colored with gouache and acrylic paints, have a fresh, slightly quirky look that is sure to draw an audience. Most second-graders will be able to read the simple words, but even prereaders will enjoy the gentle, droll humor that infuses both text and illustrations. A pleasing story with series potential.
