- Abstract
- en_US True to this series, this retold version of GA is funny. The fun starts on the first page of the story when a small ant says "I'm totally going be on the seafood diet this winter. When I see food, I'll eat it!" Much of the story is consumed with the grasshopper's account of all the "important" things he did during the summer, like competing in spitting contests and watching video games. The story ends apparently still during the summer, with a view forward to the coming winter that will be hard on the grasshopper. I agree that this version would appeal to children of age 8 to 12. As 18 declares, "This version of the story is different from the original. It has jokes and silly images. But the moral stayed the same." That moral is "There's a time for work and a time for play." The questions on 23 may provoke good reflection.
