Grasshopper loves the simple joy of walking down a long, winding country road. He does not have a strict destination in mind, preferring to see where the path takes him and who he might meet along the way. During his peaceful journey, he runs into a very rigid club of beetles, a housefly obsessed with cleaning, and a mosquito who insists on obeying strange rules. Each bug he encounters has a very strong, unbending opinion about the right way to live, work, and behave. Grasshopper kindly listens to them all, but he refuses to let their rigid routines stop him from enjoying his open-ended adventure. Divided into easy-to-read short stories, this gentle early reader shows the importance of staying true to yourself while respecting others. It is a wonderful, humorous look at different personalities and the value of keeping an open mind on the journey of life.
