The Hugely-Wugely Spider by Ethan T. Berlin illustrated by Karl Newsom Edwards, PICTURE BOOK Farrar Straus Giroux (Macmillan), 2018. $18.
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
In this silly parody of the itsy-bitsy spider story, this Spider is huge! He is too big to physically crawl up the water spout, and feels excluded, so, when it does start to rain, he decides to save the day (and change the outcome of the song)
This was so funny - I'm afraid the humor might be lost on young readers, but I really enjoyed it. The humerous illustrations are fun. This is a great read aloud!
