Spider Secrets: Stories of Spiders by Beatrice Bowles
Synopsis:
Brought alive by storyteller Beatrice Bowles, five classic tales from Asia, Africa and America feature mythic spiders including the kindly Cloudspinner who defeats a hungry serpent, intrepid Grandmother Spider who manages to enlightens the whole world, and Anansi whose Hat Shaking Dance is seriously silly. Connections between the stories reveal archetypal survival strategies that arachnids, though tiny and delicate, have mastered for forty millions years or so. Bold and delightful, read aloud or alone, these adventures will stir imaginations young and old Follow up activities accompany the text, illustrated by Philip Zuznicki.
