To construct a towering throne, an imperious grasshopper king commands his bug subjects: "Bring me a rock! The bigger the better." He summarily rejects a small bug's pebble, but when the royal rock pile threatens to topple, the clever little bug's pebble comes in handy. Insect's-eye-view watercolors in subdued tones enhance the story's humor and bring home its message that size isn't everything.
