The foreword to this careful inquiry into the affairs of the denizens of grasshopperland explains that the book is not for children but for their “grandfathers and grandmothers who were once boys and girls in the country and who may be in danger after all these years, of forgetting about grasshoppers.” But the little volume will not only refresh the memories of those who have forgotten, but will also tell those, who never knew, much that is interesting about the ways of the grasshopper folk. There are many illustrations from drawings.
“She evidently knows a great deal about such insects, and what she knows she has set forth in very entertaining and lucid form.” George Gladden.

“The book is a well executed piece of sugar-coated science, intended for children or amateur naturalists, and is couched in literary rather than scientific form.”
