This magnificent rendition of a classic Aesop fable by a Caldecott Medal-winning artist teaches children: Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today! In this stunning companion to the Caldecott Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse and the highly acclaimed The Tortoise & the Hare, a playful grasshopper wonders why the busy ants around him won't join in his merrymaking as the seasons pass by. But when winter arrives, he soon sees the value of his friends' hard work--just as the ants learn the value of sharing what they've worked for. Featuring a striking, surprise gatefold page, this third book in Jerry Pinkney's gorgeous trilogy of picture book fables subtly shows the pitfalls of procrastination.

The beloved tale by Charles Perrault is retold by Jerry Pinkney, and Jerry stays quite faithful to the original. This is the story of a poor miller's son (Benjamin) whose clever cat figures out a scheme for winning Benjamin all the riches he desires. Puss in Boots parades as page to the fictional Count of Carabas, bringing the king rabbits and other game supposedly from the count, then tricking the king into providing the count with gold and lordly clothing. Next Puss in Boots tricks a rich sorcerer into turning himself into a mouse. After Puss pounces on the mouse and eats him, the sorcerer's estate is free for the taking, and Benjamin truly does become a wealthy count, soon to be husband to the princess. Puss in Boots is named Prime Minister.

Chacun connaît la célèbre fable de La Fontaine, Le lion et le rat. Elle a été inspirée à son auteur par le texte d'Esope, qui mettait en scène les mêmes personnages, et dont Phèdre, au 1er siècle de notre ère, avait conçu une première adaptation. A la fin de cet album, aux illustrations ponctuées d'onomatopées animalières, le lecteur, jeune ou moins jeune, pourra lire ou relire ces trois versions, si semblables et pourtant si différentes.

In award-winning artist Jerry Pinkney's wordless adaptation of one of Aesop's most beloved fables, an unlikely pair learn that no act of kindness is ever wasted. After a ferocious lion spares a cowering mouse that he'd planned to eat, the mouse later comes to his rescue, freeing him from a poacher's trap. With vivid depictions of the landscape of the African Serengeti and expressively-drawn characters, Pinkney makes this a truly special retelling, and his stunning pictures speak volumes.
