The Three Grasshoppers

Every summer evening, three grasshoppers gather in a field to sing and make music. One night, they realize that autumn is near. It’s time to forget about making music and start gathering food for the winter. All goes well at first, but soon the three friends are squabbling, and the little group breaks up. Each grasshopper goes his separate way, competing to gather the most food, and before long a fierce war breaks out among them. The story of how the three grasshoppers find harmony and happiness by joining forces once more is a satisfying tale that celebrates true friendship. Giuliano Ferri’s enchanting illustrations add to the book’s charm.
