Another great author/book showcase for October. I hope everyone joins in and connects with one or more of these authors along with enjoying a new book or two. Love this blog for the good information.
Sounds like a fun book.
There is a wonderful literary tradition of lady spiders in children’s books, Charlotte of Charlotte’s Web probably being the most well-know. Long live lady spiders, and I’d love to read this book!
The book has a great cover design that just beckons you inside to read which is so appropriate for a spider and her web book.
This sounds like a wonderful book to read to my grandson. Personally I would love to read a Louisiana folk story. Then we could pass it down to my niece who is expecting in March when her baby is old enough. They are moving to Louisiana where her husband’s family is located.
This sounds like a wonderful book. I love this blog because of all of the great information in it.
