The Ant and the Grasshopper

Abstract

Here is the eighth book of this series of ten. Now Pearson Learning Group is mentioned, and the publisher's address has shifted from Carlsbad, CA, to Parsippany, NJ. The word count is 231. Sixteen pages. This grasshopper laughs at the ant's concern over winter: Why worry about winter? It's summer. There's plenty of food for now! When he asks the ant for food in winter, the ant responds Of course and gives the grasshoper a large, dry kernel of corn. The grasshopper admits that the ant was right and walks off through the snow looking for more food. The wintry scenes still abound in colors, and even the grasshopper has three distinct colors besides the snow on his back. Finding two of the books of this series has led to finding many more including this one. Let me see when I can complete the set!
