The Very Busy Spider

by Eric Carle

Ages 3–5 Reading age 4 Picture book Set in outdoors and wild places gentlerhyming

Every animal on the farm asks the spider to come and play, and she answers none of them, because she is building something.

A story about animals, gentle and rhyming in tone. We would put it with children of 3–5, and at a reading age of about 4 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
