- Abstract
- en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the first level, and the text is appropriately simple, in fact wonderfully simple in the present tense. It starts "Grasshopper sings in the sun. Ant works." One pair of pages has the two in dialogue: "I need food for the winter." "But it's summer!" Come winter, Ant says, without being asked, "Come inside." Grasshopper, warm inside, vows "Next summer I'll work too." Grasshopper's red and white stripes are attractive! The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers. First published in England in 2008. This is the first American edition.
