When Ant spies a carefree Grasshopper playing a fiddle outside on the
lawn, Ant immediately harrumphs at the insect's foolishness and
continues to go about his very serious business of gathering and
counting his food for the winter. But Ant finds Grasshopper's music and
whimsy more catchy than he'd like, and soon he's distracted by his own
rhyming and doodling! When the harsh winter hits and Ant finds
Grasshopper cold and hungry in the snow, he can't help but bring him
inside. Only after opening his home to Grasshopper does Ant realize that
music, dancing, and laughter have their place in his life, too.
Luli Gray's funny twist on this fable will have readers giggling and
singing. With Giuliano Ferri's lush and whimsical illustrations, this
book is both heartwarming and lovely to behold.
