Itsy Bitsy Spider (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781416998952)

If you think you already know the story of the itsy-bitsy spider, think again. From a Caldecott medalist comes a dynamic pop-up interpretation of a classic song.

Every child learns the song as a toddler, but they've never seen it this way before! Caldecott medalist Richard Egielski brings "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" vividly to life with intricate paper constructions on every page: the baseball-cap-wearing spider literally climbs up the water spout, and is deluged by raindrops for "down came the rain." And when the sun magnificently reappears, the spider happily resumes his climb--up to Mama!

Ideal for fans of Robert Sabuda, this pop-up creation brilliantly captures the resilient spirit of a timeless tune and belongs in every child's collection. Even Miss Muffet would welcome this spider into her library.
