The Very Busy Spider

A beautiful and classic picture book from Eric Carle, the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Early one morning a little spider begins to spin her web on a fencepost. Alongside the visual excitement of Eric Carle's vibrant collages of familiar animals is the tactile experience of feeling the spider's web as it grows from a simple line into a complex and beautiful creation - a perfect story for reading aloud and sharing.
