A walk beyond the busy day

Grasshopper sets out along a road simply because he enjoys walking, while the busy characters he meets question his unhurried choice. That contrast gives the story a clear, child-friendly thread about different ways of spending the day. As a Level 2 I Can Read title, it is presented for children beginning to read independently, with some support still useful.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children building confidence with early independent reading
  • Young readers who enjoy animal characters and simple journeys
  • Families seeking a story that invites conversation about busyness and personal choice

Book overview

From Arnold Lobel, the beloved author and illustrator of the Newbery Honor and Caldecott Honor award-winning Frog and Toad books, comes a sweet, timely twist on a classic fable.

One morning Grasshopper finds a lovely road to follow. Off he goes on his journey, past plenty of busy characters. They wonder why Grasshopper isn't as busy as they are. But Grasshopper--well, he is happy just walking down the road.

Arnold Lobel's beloved Level 2 I Can Read classic was created for kids who read on their own but still need a little help.

The classic Frog and Toad stories by Arnold Lobel have won numerous awards and honors, including a Newbery Honor, a Caldecott Honor, ALA Notable Children's Book, Fanfare Honor List (Horn Book), School Library Journal Best Children's Book, and Library of Congress Children's Book.
