THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER












Author (last name first): Emberley, Rebecca & ED
Publisher,Date of Publication:Dial /May 10, 2012

Grade Level/ or Age Level:  
Preschool-Gr1/Ages:3 and Up
Classification: 
Fiction 


Rebecca and Ed Emberley point their attention to the brilliant tale of the grasshopper and the ant and put a spin on it. The hard working ant discovers that music can make any burden lighter when she stumbles upon a musician grasshopper and his buggy band. Inviting the jazzy bug band back to her underground colony, the group moves on to "Laissez les bon temps rouler!" with the foldout translating for children, " Let the good times roll!" The intensely colored, textured illustrations  are very eye catching and abstract which makes the story even better. I would recommend this book for storytime or just a good time with your young children.
