![]() ![]() After a long day of fact-gathering, he returns home and asks his mother what his species can do to distinguish themselves. But while Grasshopper finds his friends' abilities interesting, he wonders what makes him special. ![]() His list of features grows to include Fly tasting through his feet, Ant lifting hundreds of times his body weight and Caterpillar having more muscles than a human. This leads to a series of encounters with other insects in which Grasshopper asks what is different about their bodies. When Grasshopper throws a ball that hits Cricket on the knee, he cries, "You hit my ear." Grasshopper is confused until Cricket explains that he hears through his knees and has special teeth on his wings that make him sing. The book opens with a baseball game between Cricket and Grasshopper. Kohlman's picture book celebrates the differences that make each creature-or person-unique while providing interesting insect facts. ![]()
