Bookroo's summary
In a kingdom ruled by a demanding grasshopper king, bugs are tasked with bringing rocks to build his throne. One small bug offers only a pebble, dismissed by the king. But when the throne teeters, this tiny contribution might be the key to stability. Can the smallest bug prove its worth and save the day? Discover a whimsical tale of unexpected heroism and the power of the little things in 'Bring Me a Rock!'
From the publisher
From the author-illustrator of Pardon Me! and Float comes a funny and fun picture book about a little bug who proves that even the small can be mighty.
When a power-hungry grasshopper king wants a throne to loom over his bug subjects, he summons each of them to “bring me a rock!” One by one, the bugs bring him the biggest rocks they can carry, but one little bug can contribute only a very small pebble. The grasshopper king shuns the little bug. But when his throne is in danger of tipping, that little bug might be the only one who can save him.
With beautiful, bold illustrations and a folk-tale sensibility, Bring Me a Rock! is a classic underdog tale with a humorous twist.
