This is a twist on the classic fable. Essentially, it's just a story about how music can help make chores seem easier and go faster. The ant is weary carrying her heavy burden when she hears the grasshopper's band and stops to listen. The music eases her weariness and she is able to return the favor eventually. Bright, classic Ed Emberley illustrations are a bit kooky, but fun! Definitely recommended for story time.

A turned around retelling of the ant and the grasshopper fable where the music comes out on top. I usually love Emberley's illustrations but these are a little to dense and dark for my liking.

Good book for preschoolers or Kindergarten but none younger. Graphics are large and busy. Might become over stimulating. Possible display book?
