I read this book out loud on my front porch. I liked that I could reference ants and grasshoppers that might live in the field in the vacant lot across the street. The moral of this fable is that there's a time for work and a time for play. I thought this was perfect for young children who try to comprehend why their parents work so hard while the children spend all their time playing. Great classic story!
