The Itsy Bitsy Spider Details
Review "Remember the thrill of learning and retelling the Itsy Bitsy Spider (aka the "Incy Wincy Spider", the "Eency Weency Spider" and according to Wikipedia, five other variations)?The talented daughter-father team of Rebecca Emberley and Ed Emberley has remixed the classic in their trademark style, deftly delivering a stunning color palette, palpable rhythm, and steady movement.If that's not recommendation enough, then check out the "buy a book, give a book" program from the publisher, Two Little Birds." ―Parents' Choice Awards"The Itsy Bitsy Spider is a children's picturebook illustrating the classic nursery rhyme with vivid, unforgettable abstract artwork contrasting bright colors. The spider itself is not anthropomorphized, but rather a stylized portrayal of a genuine arachnid, complete with compound eyes. A short but sweet read-aloud storybook, perfect for parents and children to share, as long as none of them have arachnophobia!" ―Midwest Book Review Read more About the Author Rebecca Emberley has been creating award-winning books for kids for more than 35 years.

This beautifully illustrated classic will engage the youngest child to the older child or adult reading it - again and again. Emberleys modern new twist with eye-catching illustrations and lush color palette bursts off the page. The book is so well constructed and the hefty paper will withstand vigorous page turning by youngsters. I am so impressed with the quality of this book - so I am buying a few as baby gifts to have on hand and of course one to keep!The illustrations from the Emberleys never grow old and our children have loved them for decades! A direct hit for anyone who loves the classics but craves modern beautiful design.
