In this stunning companion to the Caldecott Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse and the highly acclaimed The Tortoise & the Hare, a playful grasshopper wonders why the busy ants around him won't join in his merrymaking as the seasons pass by. But when winter arrives, he soon sees the value of his friends' hard work--just as the ants learn the value of sharing what they've worked for. Featuring a striking, surprise gatefold page, this third book in Jerry Pinkney's gorgeous trilogy of picture book fables subtly suggests a resonant moral: Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today.

I love all stories illustrated by Jerry Pinkney!!!!!!!

Beautiful illustrations. This is a great story.

Pinkney is my favorite artist

Kids love it.

Such a wonderfully colorful book that updates the old tale of the grasshopper & the ants. When I go to the library to borrow books, I am always looking for books that would appeal to each of my different grandchildren's personalities. This beautiful book is for an incredibly picky grand daughter who just loved the book. When I find the perfect book, I always turn to Amazon, locate the book, add it to my wish list & purchase it when I have the funds. The books are always delivered quickly & are in perfect condition. I add a customized label & then give it to the little kiddo with a flourish of kisses to add to their expanding library! Thanks Amazon for being part of this Grandmother's book gifting tradition!!
