Their hallmark characteristics include simplicity, accessibility, and universal themes that explore human behavior, ethics, and wisdom across a wide range of scenarios. These fables remain enduring classics, such as "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," continuing to captivate readers of all ages by imparting moral wisdom through memorable storytelling.

In this stunning companion to the Caldecott Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse and the highly acclaimed The Tortoise & the Hare, a playful grasshopper wonders why the busy ants around him won't join in his merrymaking as the seasons pass by.

Featuring a striking, surprise gatefold page, this third book in Jerry Pinkney's gorgeous trilogy of picture book fables subtly suggests a resonant moral: Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today.
