The Very Busy Spider [Board book]

A VERY classic from Eric Carle, creator ofThe Very Hungry Caterpillar

Early one morning a little spider spins her web on a fence post. One by one, the animals of the nearby farm try to distract her, yet the busy little spider keeps diligently at her work. When she is done, she is able to show everyone that not only is her creation quite beautiful, it is also quite useful!

This multi-sensory book allows children to feel the pictures as well as see them. And with its rhythmic text,The Very Busy Spiderbecomes an experience to touch, to see, and to hear.
