A beautiful and classic picture book from Eric Carle, the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In this multi-sensory book, children can feel the pictures as well as see them, while they hear or read the easy rhythmic text. 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. Eric Carle is an internationally bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator of books for very young children. Eric lives in Massachusetts with his wife, Barbara. The Carles opened The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Massachusetts in 2002.

Me and my son have ended up reading it many many times together. Review: Amazing - Great book for kids, i didn't know it had sensory illustration too, loved the texture of the spiders web and the spider and fly too! really interesting how all the animals keep asking the spider different questions as she finishes her web. Ending is also very nice. Good quality eric carle is a master at children's books.

In a world full of distractions, it is important to pursue our goals
It is again one of those Eric Carle's books that deliver an important message through stories that are fun to read with the young ones.

Nice book
Nice book with colourful pictures of animals..it contains a number of pages and my 15 months baby loose interest when i read them all. She simply likes to turn the pages and look at the animals and fly on each page. This book is very similar to brown bear brown bear what do you see. So now my baby has three books which are all about animals..brown bear, spider and oh dear :)

Great book for multiple reading sessions
Love all the books by Eric Carle and this one was an instant hit with my 2 year old who wants to read every chance they get. The slight emboss on the pages in the hard cover is a nice touch where my kid likes to feel the web.

She Loves Spiders!
I bought this book on recommendation from a friend, and around that same time my 18 month old daughter learned "Itsy Bitsy Spider" which is now her favorite song/rhyme. She has us sing it to her (complete with hand motions) about 10 times a day. Now she loves this book and The Itsy Bitsy Spider they are two of her favorite books. She brings them to me saying "Pie-durr bouht!" (Spider book) "peashj wedit!" (please read it). We love reading them before naps and bedtime since both stories end with the spiders going to sleep. This books is really well written and illustrated. I think a lot of children's "authors" and publishing houses are very lazy about content and illustrations, thinking a cartoon of a cow which says moo moo next to it is educational enough. This is a story about several things. #1. A spider who is so busy building her web that she has no time to talk to anyone. #2. Its a story about hard work paying off, and eventually getting a lovely rest at the end of a long day. #3. It teaches young children animal sounds, as well as animal behaviors. We learn that cats like to nap, goats like to climb, and that spiders build webs to catch flies in among other things. The repetition of simple phrases helps the child relax because its soothing, and when they get older and learn the story you can say, "But the spider didn't answer because..." and then the child can answer, "she was so busy building her web." And also ask the child to tell you the different animals sounds and things like that. The illustrations are textured, you can feel the fly and web on each page. That's pretty cool as an added little thing that a child may enjoy. My daughter doesn't really care all that much but other kids might tracing the lines of the web, and looking for the fly on each page like a Where's Waldo.

Not sure it sends the right message
The story is simplay about a spider spinning its web, and no matter what animal approached it to ask a question, it did not reply (repeatedly). My son asked why is the spider ignoring everyone, and I said probably because it is very busy, but it's rude to ignore others nonetheless.
