Also, the web sticks out so you can feel it on the page. That's it. That's the book. It's the usual Carle imagery, the gimmick that a lot of his work tries to contain and the repetitive ba Welcome back to another edition of Tim really doesn't get the love for Eric Carle.
It's the usual Carle imagery, the gimmick that a lot of his work tries to contain and the repetitive back and forth that he seems to favor. Now I know I've said it in the past, but it is worth saying again, repetition does help children especially young children grasp concepts.
I'm not faulting him for that. I'm faulting him for the lazy way in which it is so often handled and a book where about half of the pages are the exact same sentence seems a touch too lazy for me. Here's the weird thing… I don't actually dislike this one.
No, it's not a book I love by any means I really, really don't understand the cult of Carle that seems so strong in children's literature but I actually give the gimmick here some points and I like the unsaid message about working hard on your goals. I also like from an imagery standpoint seeing the web grow each page. Rather comically though, as this is one of the few Carle books I don't dislike, it's one my daughter doesn't care for at all… this is my review though and she can give her own one star review later.

Shelves: art-lovely , bage-children , classic , genre-beginner , , genre-fantasy , want-to-own , nature , z-eric-carle. I love the art style for this Eric Carle beginning book about spiders. It looks like he used construction paper to collage the pictures. The colors are so happy and bright. A spider is busy working.
All the animals want to hang out with her, but she is so busy she doesn't even speak to them to tell them she is busy. She is sort of rude. I guess that's the nature of spiders. The animals are so cute. Young readers should love this. View 2 comments. Jan 16, Emily May rated it really liked it Shelves: for-the-kids , childrens. I'm not sure exactly what it is about this book, but my kids loved it!
I picked it for my younger son who is not quite two, but my three-year-old was also very enthusiastic about it. I had to read it four times in a row.
It's about animal noises and a spider that keeps on building her web and ignoring the mooing baaing neighing raucous around her. I'm not sure what the message is don't talk to anyone and you'll be more productive? Lol but that spider makes herself one fine web! View all 4 comments. Jul 30, Archit rated it really liked it.
One of my favorites in the series! Such a busy spider it was! Adorable execution! Jun 04, Russell rated it really liked it. One of the better murder stories I've read in some time. Entertainingly illustrated, with a cast of memorable characters that draw you further into the tale. Like in Prince of Thorns , you find yourself rooting for the villain by the end, tracing your finger along their beautiful instrument of death.

Each time, the spider didn't answer because she was busy spinning her web. In the end, after she finishes her web, she catches and fly and an owl asks who made this beautiful web. But, again, the spider didn't answer because she fell asleep, as it had been a very long day spinning her web. I think "The Very Busy Spider" is about a spider that spends all day spinning her web.
I think this story shows children that determination is a good thing to have. The spider was determined to finish her web and not be distracted by running off with the different farm animals. Her hard work paid off, because at night, she had caught a fly and was ready for bed. Learning Experience: In small groups, have pieces of white yarn pre cut on the table, and construction paper with a circle drawn on it. Have the children glue the yarn around the circle and make their very own unique spider web.
Then when they are finished, glue a picture of a fly on it, to show their hard work paid off. Dec 22, Hilary rated it liked it Shelves: male-author-or-illustrator. Both my children, when small, really enjoyed this story of a spider making it's web.
I waiver between 3 or 4 stars for this, it's nice meeting all the animals and they loved the way the web is slightly raised so you can feel it but it is very repetitive to read aloud. They loved it but I grew to really dislike reading this one! Nov 03, Hannah Notess rated it it was amazing Shelves: tech. An important message about work-life balance for web developers.

The basic message is: Introverts thrive in the business of web development. If you keep your eye on the prize, and don't let yourself get distracted with all things social, you'll succeed.

And be pretty lonely, but we don't quite go there in here My son loves making the animal noises all through the book. We love reading this book together. My daughter loves all the animals and we do different voices for them to go with their sounds. She also likes that the spiders web is raised so she can feel it. This is one of my daughters favourites, it's always one of the ones in her pile books to take to her reading tent. We read this book almost every night as my LO giggled when I make the animal noises and use different voices when the animals 'speak'.
A great book with lovely illustrations'. One of the first books I shared with my little girl at about 4 weeks old. She listened to me tell the story and let me help her feel the spider webs. I love the hungry caterpillar but hadn't read this story - love it! I set up this book beside my son's change mat. He's 4 months old and loves staring at the pictures while I change him and read the story. The cow and rooster are his favourites! My daughter loves this book - all the different animal sounds.
It also has the web and threads raised on each page so it is a good book to feel as well. A very popular book in our house.
