Ant and Grasshopper by Luli Gray



A new twist on an old favorite! A new focus on language arts standards in Ohio (so I have been told) is folk tales and fairy tales so I was happy to find this. As in the traditional Ant and Grasshopper story, the ant is doing all the work and the grasshopper is too busy playing. What is different about this version is the authors alternate ending. Do not want to spoil it but let's just say the ant in this version is a little nicer! I love the illustrations in this book! The illustrator truly captured the personalities of the characters. You can just tell what that ant is like - my way or NO WAY - who else would count their food EVERY DAY!?!
