The Very Busy Spider
Author: Eric Carle
Illustrator: Eric Carle
Publisher: Puffin
This tactile book enables children to feel the spider’s gradually growing web and discover the pattern she weaves in order to achieve the final flycatching result. As she does this, each of the farmyard animals makes their typical sound and invites her to join in with an activity that they enjoy. A consistent refrain indicates that the spider is too busy spinning her web.
