Spiders! Arachnid Science!

G. Gibson Picture Book w/Extra Cartoon Fun!

Sign Up for Free Color Page of Miss Muffet!?!

    I think this book is great for kids age 4-8. It's tame for those who get the hebbie-geebies from spiders. I wanted to introduce this book even if it's been out for awhile because it's good science. Since it's October 1st and 30 days until Halloween, I thought it would be well aligned with this months festivities.

AND 

Mr. Spider at Your Service ready to give you a Boo!

     This is the little character that I've incorporated into the storyline for more fun and excitement for the little ones. Gail Gibson is very well known as a children's book writer. I have many of her books read aloud and she has many. I believe she's been writing for a long time for kids.

    Here is an extra spider story attached to the video, and yes Mrs. Small sings it for you, so you need to watch and listen for yourself on the video above.

   " Little Miss Muffet,

Sat on a tuffet,

Eating her curds and whey,

When along came a Spider,

And sat down beside her,

And scared Little Miss Muffet away..."

Silvia Long does a great job introducing us to familiar and not so familiar nursery rhymes in her creative art style of a genre gone-by. If you remember picture book art from the 60's it has that kind of feel to the characters and images she portrays and it is inimitable. It's a nostalgic feeling I get from her colorful pages. In this hard bound version there are 109 pages, at a 10"x10" size, so it's a pretty hefty book. I know a three year old could carry it, but I'm not sure about a two year old. 

Part One of Mother Goose Read-aloud.

    When I choose it for my read-aloud I was excited myself, looking at the delightful expressions and whimsy (I know this word is overused, but I like it). I will be breaking it up into four parts for this particular read-aloud, because it works better in segments. I will of course list the more familiar titles on the channels front description @TumpskyandMrsSmall and underline them for your convenience. Then you can remember which Part 1,2,3 or 4 is your favorite.

    I looked for it on Amazon, and beings it's a from 1999, it's doing quite well holding at $14.99 for a hardcover. The paperback is about a dollar less. There is a Kindle version as well. The ISBN # 9780811820882.  Check out my read versions; part one and two. Part 3 and 4 coming in the near future.
