This book might be good to use at the beginning of the school year to talk about equality.

I adore all of Daniel Miyares' picture books, and this one is reminiscent of my favorite, [b:Pardon Me!|18689751|Pardon Me!|Daniel Miyares|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403399240s/18689751.jpg|26534964]. His illustrations are just the best! Bring Me a Rock has a similar feel in the illustrations and story, which is great. This one especially has a message that is important for students to hear about equality and bossiness and kindness and everyone doing the best they are capable of. Definitely one to share with kids.

Kids LOVED this silly book during storytime. A great ending with everyone sharing.

The insect king (a grasshopper) wants to have the best throne ever so he commands all his subjects to bring him a rock. When the tiniest bug can bring only a pebble, the king is convinced that it's useless. Eventually, everyone learns that even the smallest among us can make a difference. Beautiful illustrations and a good group read aloud.

Great great great new book from FLOAT illustrator Daniel Miyares whose watercolors work just as well here as in his wordless picturebook. A grasshopper King demands rocks from his buggy attendants but rejects the efforts of one small beetle until that beetle demonstrates his true mettle.
Brilliant cover, if you have an observant eye. Take another look once you've finished reading.

Limited words gives it a good combination feel of wordless sections and parts with words, has a nice message, the illustrations and expressions on the characters faces are wonderful.

Great for read alouds- reminds me of Yertle the Turtle with the king of the bugs trying to build the tall tower of rocks. The tower is about to fall over, and a little bug with a little pebble saves the day.

Possible read aloud, big enough text and clear illustrations.

Torn between 3 and 4 stars on this one. I think there is a GREAT lesson hidden in this one, but I do think kids might need adult help unlocking it. Definitely a book I would love to have in my classroom, as I would lead the discussion and could start some great conversation among my students. I think kids could for sure enjoy the book without adult support, but I do think adults might be required to get the full benefit.
There are lessons to be found in helping others, regardless of how they have treated you, and of treating everyone as equals.
Could surely get some good conversation from this one. Will have to add it to my classroom library!
