In this classic picture book, a spider lands on a farm fence post after being carried across the fields by the wind. She immediately begins to spin a web. As she works, various farm animals, including a horse, a cow, a sheep, and a pig, approach her one by one. Each animal invites the spider to join them in a different activity, such as jumping fences, eating grass, or rolling in the mud. The spider ignores every distraction, remaining focused on weaving her silver thread until the web is finished and catches a fly.
This board book is designed for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning about animal sounds and the importance of persistence. The tactile nature of the pages features raised, embossed spider webs that children can feel with their fingers as they read. By following the spider’s steady progress, young readers learn to identify common livestock and understand the concept of completing a task from start to finish. They walk away with a sensory experience of textures and a basic introduction to the functional behavior of insects.
Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded and clear-cut; an easy read.
