Abstract

en_US This pamphlet does a strong job of anthropomorphizing the two main characters. The grasshopper has huge eyes. Is that some sort of beetle warning her among the brown leaves in the fall? The winter scene seems to present more rain than snow, but it also introduces us to a wonderfully hideous ant. I have never seen one uglier! It is hard to see how this version resolves the story. Usually, when the ant tells the grasshopper to dance, it is a way of turning her out into the cold to stamp her feet in an effort to keep them warm. Here the grasshopper, apparently indoors, does dance! The back page seems also to be unresolved, perhaps deliberately, as it puts together the shovel of hard work and a garland of beautiful flowers.
