Miss Spider's Tea Party by David Kirk
4.0

Age: K-4th grade
Art: painting--Mexican influence (Diego Rivera?)

Catchy and easy-to-read rhyme scheme about a spider who desires company for tea. Alas, all her prospective friends run away in terror of being eaten. In the end, she tends to an injured moth who then spreads the word of her friendliness and docility. Although the story casts the spider in a very humanistic light, the bold paintings and delightful rhyme are perfect for the age group.
