- Abstract
- en_US Through an oversight, I bought a new set of ABCMouse books replicating the earlier series published in 2012 and 2013. Like the other four books in this series, this book has seen slight changes in its 2016 printing, apparently the third printing. A page of advertisements is added at the end, including awards. The two pages adding vowel sounds at the end of the book do not appear here, as they do in the other 2016 copies. The early bibliographical information now includes “10% recycled paper” but the title-page has dropped reference to free apps. The book still apparently numbers the front cover as Page 1. As I wrote of the first edition,the book is aimed at younger children. Throughout both spring and summer, the grasshopper does nothing but eat, sleep, and play. He gets fat and fatter. In spring, summer, and fall, he hears the same from the ants he encounters: "It's going to be a long winter, with lots of snow." By the end of winter, this grasshopper learns to prepare for the future. The cover picture of the grasshopper slumbering in a hammock helps tell the story. It is repeated on 12. There are two pages of glossary at the back of this very sturdy book.
