DESCRIPTION:
Excellent book for toddlers and young children! This book is about the life of a spider from the point of view of a young boy. The illustrations are vivid and the text is like a young boys handwriting to add to the overall "vibe". Our son is fascinated with bugs (including spiders) and this has become one of his favourites. Everytime we read it, he goes on the journey with the young boy as he watches the spider and follows it through weaving a web, having the web accidently hurt by a hiker, then helping the spider to find a safe place to weave another web. Included at the end of this book are a bunch of facts about spiders for older ki
If you're quiet and you really listen, can you hear the spider's feet on the sparkling web? Baviera's ultramagnified, crayon-pencil illustrations make you feel like it might be possible.

Magically, this talented pair manages to make the little yellow spider's webbed world soothing bedtime fare--the young boy goes home from spider gazing to dream about weaving a web of his own to catch fallen stars and return them to the night sky. "So tiny, yet the closer you look, the bigger she gets" perfectly captures Dream Weaver, Jonathan London and illustrator Rocco Baviera's evocative, hypnotic picture book about a little boy watching a tiny yellow spider, in the up-close-and-personal vein of Verdi and Stellaluna. (Great read aloud, ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson
