The Eensy-Weensy Spider

Little, Brown & Co., 2000.

Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott.

The beloved childhood song is extended here into a complete story that takes the determined little spider on a series of adventures throughout the countryside. After a busy day she is tucked into bed, only to wake to another turn at the waterspout. As conceived by Westcott in her bright, double-spread illustrations, no spider has ever been so endearing.

Look inside the book!

Hoberman's jaunty rhymes perfectly match the meter of the original song, and virtually compel the reader to break out in song. It's wonderful to see how Hoberman can stretch a well-known song into a new shape."

Scripps Howard News Service

The author-illustrator team behind Miss Mary Mack scores again with this rollicking, sing-song poem that extends Eensy-Weensy's story beyond the drain pipe and through a spring day of adventures."

Booklist

"This sprightly adaptation lends itself to singing aloud and is sure to be a hit."
