K-3Ready-to-Read: Ant Hill series.
Illustrated by
Will Terry.
The ants are celebrating St. Patrick's Day with a parade. When they see a leprechaun ("'Green ant!' said Grant"), the parade veers off course to find his pot of gold-colored crackers ("'A treat!' said Pete"). With only very few words, the rhyming text conveys a complete and thoroughly entertaining story. The richly colored illustrations capture the fun from surprising angles.
