Fan of The Rupsje Nooitgenoeg? 'The Spider Who Was Too Busy' is another beautiful picture book by Eric Carle. This edition has sturdy cardboard pages, so that the book is extra nice to read (aloud) and stays beautiful for a long time.
The spider who was too busy
One fine morning a spider was carried through the air by a gentle breeze. A gossamer-fine thread trailed behind the spider. Then she landed on a fence, near a farmyard and began to make a web. A web that you can actually feel when you run your fingers over the pages.
Bound cardboard book
This edition is made of extra sturdy cardboard and has a nice, handy size. A perfect book for toddlers, with their grabby hands. The beautiful hardcover cover also allows the book to retain its luxurious appearance.
