When Gus eats only his favourite snack, the speckled Zopper cricket, the forest begins to fall out of balance. His family struggles to find food, and the ecosystem around him starts to change in unexpected ways. Can Gus find a way to put things right? This delightful picture book shows young readers how moderation helps keep nature, and each other, in harmony.
