The Very Busy Spider

• “Eric Carle’s The Very Busy Spider is now available in board-book form. A contemporary classic, the simple picture storybook is about the satisfaction of working and completing a task. Readers follow a spider through the day as it creates a web. The web is actually a raised line of thin plastic that can be felt when tracing it with a finger. Carle’s signature collage illustrations, in vivid colors and varied textures, carry the story.”
