Abstract
-
en_US
Sixteen heavy pages fully illustrated in color. 10" x 10¾". The visual artist here uses geometric shapes for animals' heads and gives them large eyes. The written and illustrated versions differ on whether the ants are carrying their future food on their heads. Again, the writer has the grasshopper first meet an ant as the latter labors carrying a grain of barley. The visual artist has him without any burden. The writer repeats the phrase "toiling and moiling." In winter, the grasshopper leads the pleading ant into her warm home and feeds him. The latter responds "I understand now, my friend, it is best to prepare for the days of necessity." In the spring, the two work together to collect food for the chilly months. As they do so, they sing together. Originally printed in 2013.
