"Sooo cute! It's hard to find books at this reading level that are interesting enough to read more than once and enjoy it every time. This is a keeper! Grasshopper goes for a walk and runs into all sorts of interesting insect characters. Each new encounter is quirkier than the next. Very amusing."
— Marla (5 out of 5 stars)
