This gem of a classic teaches a valuable lesson about how to make new friends, and respect the natural world too. Our young heroine walks out into a meadow one morning, and meets a grasshopper, a frog, a turtle, a chipmunk, and other meadow creatures. "Will you play with me?" is her cry, as she tries to catch them each in turn. But the shy animals elude her, and quickly disappear. What is an eager little girl in search of playmates to do? Just sit very quietly, and wait for a while. And soon enough, at their own pace, the animals return. "Oh now I was happy, as happy as could be! For all of them -- ALL OF THEM -- were playing with me!? It's a sweet and simple story that preschoolers get right away, and just love.
