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.

How wonderful! I’ve never read a Louisiana folk story before! I’ll be hoping to win this book. I’m intrigued by the obvious French heritage in the story, given its title!

A cute story set in the background of Louisiana. A place we have visited and have family there. Would love to read it!
