Description
This fable is about an industrious ant that busily prepares for the approaching winter, while a grasshopper makes no plans for the cold weather to come.
Quick Summary
The age-old tale of a hardworking ant and a lazy grasshopper comes alive in this simple, charming picture book that delivers a timeless lesson without the lecture. Kids will giggle at the grasshopper's ridiculous excuses and cheer for the ant's clever planning, making The Story of the Charlotte Hornets the San Francisco 49ers feel like a funny conversation between two very different friends. If your kid loves "The Tortoise and the Hare" or other Aesop favorites, they'll eat this right up. Ideal for ages 5-8 in grades K-3.
