Told from a spider's perspective, this story details the life and near demise of a small creature. At the last moment the lady of the story demonstrates compassion and returns the spider to the garden where he can live a long and happy life. This story is filled with rich illustrations and captivating text. Good for children 3-5 but riveting for those 5-8. The message is one we all should hear.

Great lession for kids

I read this book to my girls when they were young. I really love the message that one does not have to automatically kill spiders, insects or bugs. All creatures are just trying to live their lives in the great big world. When the lady in the book finds the spider in her sink with the lettuce, she very thoughtfully takes it out side and back into her garden, where it belongs. Teaches a very good lesson in compassion and thoughtfulness.

Great book!

Format:Paperback
Truly a classic in compassion. A great book for budding naturalists as well. Ever since I first read it, I can't pass a patch of green in the garden without wondering how many little creatures think of that straight line of salad-to-be as their forest and homes....
