Hilarious even for Adults

I am an adult and I have to say that listening to this story brought back memories of my innocent childhood and at the same time made me laugh as an adult. Each character that the grasshopper runs into reminded me of someone in my life (morning person and proud of it, clean freak, stickler to rules, etc.) What a great story and I absolutely love the narrator! Throughly enjoyed listening to!!!!

Not For the 0-4 group

We are very conscious of our word choices around our children. We do not use the words stupid or dummy in our home and do not choose stories that do. I will be returning this book.
Otherwise the story is fine, in fact rather good but There are many rather good stories that use better words.
