A new title in the fantastic First Reading series, aimed at children who are beginning to read. A thoughtful retelling of Aesop's fable; its the middle of summer and while the grasshopper is enjoying himself, the ant is busy preparing for winter and when winter arrives both the ant and the grasshopper learn something about the merits of hard work. This key series was developed in conjunction with reading expert Allison Kelly from the University of Surrey, a reading specialist. Every title has clear and compelling text that allows children to build their burgeoning reading skills and is accompanied by charming and highly appealing illustrations.

There are over 200 titles in the Young Reading Series.
