DIARY OF A SPIDER

What strikes fear into a spider's heart? Who is a spider's best friend? What does a spider do all day? After a peek into Spider's diary, the sometimes maligned creature will be better appreciated. Listeners will join Spider for Grandparents’ Day and Safety Day at school, be part of a run-in with Daddy Longlegs, and be a "fly on the wall" for other after-school antics. Angus T. Jones, of TV’s “Two and a Half Men,” delivers a straightforward narration. He lets the words speak for themselves and gives listeners ample time to pour over Harry Bliss's illustrations. This combination of unobtrusive words and detailed visuals brings out the humor and message of the story. A.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 07]
