This magnificent rendition of a classic Aesop fable by a Caldecott
Medal-winning artist teaches children: Don't put off for tomorrow what
you can do today! In this stunning companion to the Caldecott
Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse and the highly acclaimed The
Tortoise & the Hare, a playful grasshopper wonders why the busy ants
around him won't join in his merrymaking as the seasons pass by. But
when winter arrives, he soon sees the value of his friends' hard
work--just as the ants learn the value of sharing what they've worked
for. Featuring a striking, surprise gatefold page, this third book in
Jerry Pinkney's gorgeous trilogy of picture book fables subtly shows the
pitfalls of procrastination. Don't miss these other classic retellings
