Book Description
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.

Book Description
‘The Ant and The Grass Hopper’ is a fable that teaches the importance of planning, of self-reliance and hard work. The frolicking grass hopper spends his summer dancing and never working while the ant makes sure to put aside supplies for the coming winter. It is a tale that resonates to this day thanks to its important message of the importance of hard work as well as having fun. It is great reading for all ages on the importance of being able to plan and support yourself. Aesop's fables feature animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. All the stories story lead to a particular moral lesson. Aesop (620-564 BCE) was a Greek story teller and fabulist who’s collection of fables continue to resonate and be taught to this day. His work is characterised by animals and inanimate objects with distinctly human traits, that speak and solve problems. None of his original work survives to this day, it is thanks to his popularity that his works survive in sources from Aristotle, Plutarch and Herodotus. Little is known about him but ancient stories describe him as an exceptionally ugly slave who, thanks to his cleverness, acquired his freedom, becoming an advisor to Kings and city-states.
