The funny, endearing insect pals find a way to be more than fair-weather friends in a second early chapter book from Megan McDonald and G. Brian Karas.

Brrrr! The leaves are off the trees, and frost is on the ground. It’s time for bugs to hunker down and hide out for the winter. But Ant isn’t ready to hunker down. Ant isn’t ready to be all by herself for months on end. The thought of a long chilly season without her best friend, Honey Bee, is enough to make Ant shiver with dread. Can Ant brave the cold for one last surprise visit before the snow flies? And will Honey Bee welcome an interruption of her peace and quiet? The author of the Judy Moody series teams up again with award-winning illustrator G. Brian Karas to show that true friends can weather whatever comes their way — even if one is feeling antsy and the other has blissful hibernation in mind.

Megan McDonald is the author of the popular and award-winning Judy Moody and Stink books. Altogether she has written more than seventy books for children and young readers, including Ant and Honey Bee: A Pair of Friends at Halloween. Megan McDonald lives in northern California.

G. Brian Karas has illustrated close to ninety children’s books, including the first book about Ant and Honey Bee, as well as Switching on the Moon: A Very First Book of Bedtime Poems, edited by Jane Yolen and Andrew Fusek Peters, and the New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book Are You Going to Be Good? G. Brian Karas lives in the Hudson Valley of New York.
