This energetic katydid is quite the nuisance, her hopping wreaking havoc among the garden plants. There is humor in the details, as the neighborhood ants carry an array of food, including broccoli, nuts, and lemons, upon their backs for their family feast. Katy finds redemption when a runaway olive blocks the door to the ants' family home, her bouncing catapults the morsel off the page. The repetitive text energizes this small tale.
