Cooped up in the anthill, they miss the grasshoppers' entertainment. Can Little Ant help his friend make it through the winter doing what loves?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis re-imagining of Aesop's \"The Ant and the Grasshopper\" turns the classic fable on its head, melding Aesop's moral about the virtue of hard work with the wisdom of Confucius: If you choose a job that you love, you will never have to work a day in your life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Little Ant Books were created with \u003cstrong\u003esocial emotional learning (SEL)\u003c\/strong\u003e in mind. Kids learn best by example. Little Ant often acts on his big feelings before taking a moment to think about what he is doing. As they see Little Ant learn from his mistakes, kids will develop a deeper understanding of their own emotions. The stories can be used as a learning tool to help kids discover the small gap that exists between feeling and acting - a gap in which thinking and choosing how we want to behave is possible, no matter how we feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories are reimaginings of Aesop's classic fables, teaching timeless lessons like \"appearances can be deceiving\" and \"one good turn deserves another.\" Brought to life by Tina Perko's vibrant and whimsical illustrations, they follow Little Ant as he navigates through the challenges and frustrations of growing up.
