Abstract
-
en_US
Good, lively art in a dramatic story. Lots of sympathy goes here to the ant, apparently a single parent, who works hard for her children. Her home is a cozy paradise in winter, stocked with the food she has gathered and the blankets she has woven. The lazy grasshopper is turned away completely, and the ant teaches her children a strange moral, I would say: Always save for a rainy day. The tone of the story is not resolved to my satisfaction. Little black-and-white designs set off the text pages that alternate with full-page colored art.
