5.0 out of 5 stars The story is fun but the pictures are what make this book!!, April 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Miss Spider's Tea Party (Hardcover)
Miss Spider's Tea Party is a simple story that introduces children to simple counting from 1 to 10. The illustrations are extremely colourful and visually stimulating for both children and parents (or grown ups like me who bought it for themselves). It's a great story that no bookself should be without - a classic kids book. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
5.0 out of 5 stars Vividly Gourgeous Illustrations-A Joy to Read!, October 13, 2002

This review is from: Miss Spider's Tea Party (Hardcover)
~ Miss Spider's Tea Party is one of those children's books that brings delight to the adult reader as well as the child.~ The illustrations are beautiful and vividly intricate, but not too complex for children to enjoy, the story has a very gentle wit, that adults will appreciate.
~ Poor Miss Spider invites all kinds of insects to tea, but for some reason they seem reluctant to befriend her. : - )
~ Happily, her naturally sweet charm wins her popularity in the insect kingdom over, as well as a true fan in the reader. Children really seem to love this simple tale, mostly for the beauty of the illustrations, and the sense of a happy conclusion approaching.
I highly recommend this as a book you can enjoy reading with your child. And I would definitely also recommend the sequel "Miss Spider's Wedding"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story, Excellent Book!, March 11, 2001

This review is from: Miss Spider's Tea Party (Hardcover)
I had first gotten this book when I went to my sons book fair at school. My 1 yr old daughter immediately fell in love with it and I have been reading it to her ever since. She loves the beautiful graphics in the story, and the wonderful rhyming keeps her tuned into the story. We have even made up little motions to go along with the story so she can participate actively in the story. I recommend this book to any parent, I believe this book has helped my daughter to start sounding out words already, and I feel confident that she will be an avid reader because of books like this. David Kirk does a wonderful job as a story teller, and I cannot wait to read all his childrens books to my own 3 children.
