Grasshopper wanted to go on a journey. ”I will find a road,” he said. ”I will follow that road wherever it goes.” Grasshopper’s road goes past ...A housefly who wants to ”sweep until the whole world is clean, clean, clean!” Butterflies who always do the same thing every day.A mosquito who follows the rules, even when they don’t make sense. Dragonflies who zip and zoom in the air. They all wonder why Grasshopper is not like them. But Grasshopper is happy to be walking slowly down the road. In Grasshopper, Arnold Lobel has created another character that beginning readers will love and understand.
