Bring Me A Rock by Daniel Miyares

Recommended for ages 3+

Summary

A king grasshopper orders all his fellow bugs to bring him a rock, the bigger the better so that he can have a throne! A tiny bug gets in trouble for just bringing a small pebble as it’s all he can carry. When the tall throne starts to tip over though, the tiny bug inserts his pebble into the crack to stabilize the rocks! The grasshopper thanks him and in the end, all of the bugs have pedestals!
