Miyares, Daniel Bring Me a Rock. PICTURE BOOK. Books For
Young Readers (Simon & Schuster), 2016 $17.99.
The Grasshopper King
wants a throne built and commands all the other bugs to bring him the largest
rocks they can carry. As the smallest bug approaches with only a little
pebble he is disdainfully rebuked. After erecting his throne of rocks the
grasshopper sits atop his seat but soon discovers it is precariously unbalanced.
The small bug comes to the rescue by bringing back his little pebble to secure
the grasshopper's perch.
The moral of the story is great in that even the
smallest bug can make a big difference. However, this wasn't my favorite
tale. The pictures are cute and the text is very simple so it would be
good for beginning readers, but I didn't like the tone of the book.
