The story of Heather, a preschooler with two cannibals for parents who discovers that some of her friends have very different sorts of families. John, for example, has a mommy and a daddy and a big brother named Carl. Martha has a mommy and a baby sister. And Joey has a mommy, a daddy, and a stepdaddy.

In this surprising find in the KGB archives we find that the gentle Joseph Stalin was also a fine storyteller. In this retelling of the classic story we see what happens to loudmouth and bragging capitalistic grasshoppers when they critique the glorious five-year plans of the Motherland. |
