Will Gnu's big ideas ever be able to mesh with Shrew's hard work to make something remarkable happen?</p><p>Author Danny Schnitzlein uses deadpan storytelling to put an entertaining spin on "The Ant and the Grasshopper" that values the roles of both dreamers and doers.

Fun, a few surprises, and something to ponder."--Kirkus Reviews<br>
