Abstract
This is a large-format book over 10 square. The setting is a long time ago at the edge of the courtyard in the emperor's summer palace. The visual setting is oriental. The grasshopper starts each of three different statements in the first half of the book with Silly ants! A week after winter sets in, the emperor leaves for his winter home, and the ants close their door. The book ends on a very abrupt note: the grasshopper huddled beneath the palace eaves and rubbed his hands together in a mournful chirp, wishing he had heeded the ant's advice. The illustration is likewise quite strong, perhaps the best in the book. There is no specific rejection by either the ant or the author.
