Product Description
This imaginative adaptation of the popular children's song, first published in hardcover in 2000, is now in paperback. National Book Award winner Mary Ann Hoberman expands on the hugely popular children's song and tells the story of the eensy-weensy spider's funny adventures with everyone from a beetle, to a frog, and even a glowworm who lights her way home at the end of the day. The humorous pictures are full of clever details. Perfect for reading and singing aloud!

Gail L. (Italia) (2006/10/14):
Capering caterpillars and blooming spring flowers ornament this bouncy reprise of a nursery standby. The book opens with musical stanzas for "The Eensy-Weensy Spider," along with a diagram of hand and arm gestures to be performed by the singer. A carnation-pink spider climbs a crocus-blue waterspout, while subsequent spreads describe the eight-legged heroine's garden adventures, all in keeping with the original tune. Hoberman invents everyday scenarios in which the spider interacts with her friendly insect neighbors (e.g., she gets assistance from a glow worm when the sun goes down). Westcott conjures the cozy vignettes with dainty pen-and-ink outlines and fresh watercolor hues of daffodil yellow and misty green. The spider's mother sits down to a meal of curds and whey, and the eensy-weensy spider drifts off to sleep in a spun-silk hammock. These pleasing new stanzas extend a favorite song and lend personality to an indomitable creature who never lets a little rain get in her way. Ages 4-8.
