It's an Orange Aardvark!

40 pp. | Greenwillow | May, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-225206-7 $17.99
(3) K-3 A carpenter ant makes a hole from inside its tree stump; the colors it--and readers--see through the holes reinforce the (unfounded) fear that there's an aardvark on the other side ("an orange aardvark...wearing blue pajamas!"). The witty digital art, incorporating painted textures and torn paper, keeps pace with the ant's cumulatively wilder assumptions, which are swallowed by its gullible ant friends.
