About this ebook
Why wasn't the grasshopper preparing for winter like the industrious ants were? The grasshopper himself treats readers to HIS side of this classic Aesop's fable in a first-person narrative that celebrates friendship and music, and subtly teaches the concept of perspective. Includes a condensed version of the original fable and discussion questions.
