Notes

New Zealand author, New Zealand illustrator Summary: A rhyming children's meditation on the four seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring, in which the grasshoppers dance to the rhythms and sounds of life around them as the world goes round. The animals in the story thrive on music: a bunny plays the drums, a hawk plays the organ, a husky plays a whistle, a kingfisher plays on conch shells, and the grasshoppers dance. (Publisher)
