The Grasshopper and the Ants
Jerry Pinkney
In this version of an Aesop fable, a playful grasshopper watches busy ants as the seasons go by. He wonders why they will not join his merrymaking. The contrast between his play and the ants' work shapes the story, as the grasshopper observes their different response to the passing seasons. It is a retelling focused on the grasshopper, the ants, and their opposing ways of spending time.
