Shi, Qian The Weaver PICTURE BOOK Anderson Press (Lerner),
2018. $18. Content: G. 978-1-541-51454-6
Stanley is a spider who has found the perfect spot to
call home. As he goes about making his
web, he starts to add leaves, flowers and buttons to his collection on his web. When a storm comes through and blows Stanley’s
collection away, it makes him sad at first, but then he decides to re-do his
web and he designs his web with the look of his flowers and treasures.
The illustrations in this book are
adorable. Cute Stanley and his spidery legs give him a lot of character and the colors
used make the pictures appealing. There
is one simple line of text per page spread, making it a fast and easy
read. The message that sometimes we lose
the physical things we love, but we can always remember them in our hearts is
subtle but well done.
