I cannot get enough of this book. I just want to hug it every time I see it. The story and illustrations work in a way that is simply magical. Their talent is simply remarkable. When an object falls from the sky ("A marble!" -My 7-year-old), the insects are convinced it must be from another world. Spider decides to develop a display and invites the insects far and wide. They merely need to pay a leaf to see the object. But spider learns an important lesson---one that serves as a good reminder to all of us. I loved this book and expect it to see some awards. It dazzled me.

You know those books you could just stare at all day long? This is one of those. And the story is beautiful, simple, and tender as well.

Dapper dressed insects, beautiful illustrations and a quirky yet perfectly simple plot = my exact vibe ☺️

For: readers looking for a book about sharing and celebrating the wonders around us; readers looking for a book with textured illustrations that uses color specifically.
Possible red flags: selfishness; greed.

I read this with my 4th grade students as part of our morning meeting. They enjoyed the art style and the narrative, and several commented on how they thought it was a good fable (as related to our class discussions of fables).

This was a cute book, but I think it would not keep the attention of a younger audience.
