## Description

The Very Busy Spider : Carle, Eric: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Lovely kids book - Very cute book for kids. Well written and illustrated. Nice and sturdy for all of those book bending toddlers out there!
Review: Delightful Book - This is both mine and my sons favorite Eric Carle book. It is beautifully simplistic, visually appealing and delightful for both mum (or dad) and baby! My son has had this book since he was about 8weeks old and is now going on two and it is his absolute favorite book. So much that I am now having to purchase a 2nd one as with being read at least three times a day and carried about lovingly by a toddler it is now in abit of a state. Despite so many readings it hasnt become tiresome like most of my sons other board books. The art is classic Eric Carle, charming and bright and the story fun.Definetly a 5 star book for little ones!
