Summary: Stories For Children / Allegories for Adults
Comment: A grasshopper has six different encounters on his journey through the 57 pages of this book. In the first encounter, "The Club," he meets ga group of beetlesh that enthusiastically support/rally for gmorning,h but become rather cross when they discover that the grasshopper loves gafternoonh and gnighth too. In the second encounter, gA New House,h the grasshopper comes upon a gwormh that lives in an apple, which suddenly begins to groll down the roadh and smashes ginto a hundred pieces.h The completely unfazed worm then crawls into ga new house.h In the third encounter, gThe Sweeper,h the grasshopper runs into a ghouseflyh that is intent on sweeping guntil the whole world is clean.h In the fourth encounter, gThe Voyage,h the grasshopper comes in contact with a know-it-all gmosquitoh that insists that the grasshopper use a glittle boath to cross a gpuddleh because git is a ruleh and grules are rules.h In the fifth encounter, gAlways,h the grasshopper who does gsomething different every day of his lifeh meets gthree butterfliesh who gdo the same thing at the same time each and every day.h In the final encounter, gAt Evening,h the grasshopper comes across gtwo dragonfliesh gzipping and zoomingh around so rapidly that they gdo not have time to look ath a variety to things, as opposed to the grasshopper who is ghappy to be walking slowly down the roadh taking in everything. A child who has learned to read at age four will be able to handle this at age five and six, but will most likely not comprehend the intended allegory.

Summary: Grasshopper on the Road
Comment: I like the book called Grasshopper on the Road. Grasshopper wants to go on an adventure. He finds a road. He finds one that goes all around town. In his adventure he meets some bugs along the way. I would give it a 4. I like the pictures and story but I didn't like all the dark colors that the illustrator used. Dark colors are gloomy.
