Benny buzzes his lessons in rhyming verse, to teach Jeremy the grasshopper the value of saying thank you. Jeremy takes for granted the special area planted just for him in Mr. Hall's garden. Zooming overhead, Benny says, "it's only right to be polite and say, 'Thank You' before tonight." Ignoring this good advice, Benny leaves the safety of Mr. Hall's garden to jump throught the neighboring yards and a nearby park. He quickly learns that the world can be a dangerous place without someone to look out for you..

Can this defiant little grasshopper learn the value of saying thank you before it's too late?
