- Abstract
- en_US Slim-Jim the grasshopper here is an idle hippie. He has his feet up on a sign "No work in summertime!" He proclaims "I'm out on strike!" The scatological side of this series comes up here with a chance character: "A dung bettle was busy too, rolling home a ball of poo." "This poo will feed me for a year. You think it smells? Don't sit so near!" Winter comes, and Slim-Jim staggers into the ants' home. Antonia Ant sticks up for him, echoed by her young cousins. She begs the queen to listen to him singing, and the queen relents. Slim-Jim sings "I've been a silly lazy twit." "Prepare yourself for days ahead Or else you might just end up dead!" Rhyming couplets throughout. 48 pages. 5¼" x 8".
