El saltamontes y las hormigas / The Grasshopper and the Ants Written by Darice Bailer & illustrated by Josep Bassa This book is a fresh take on one of Aesop’s fables, a story about the industrious ants who work all summer despite the grasshopper’s suggestion to relax and enjoy the sunshine. In the fall the ants are cozy in their den with plenty of food while the grasshopper is cold and hungry. Readers will see the two come together in this fable emphasizing responsibility and teamwork.
