Miss Spider's Tea Party by David
Kirk
Illustrated by David Kirk
Published by Scholastic Books,
March 1997
| Age Level: 1st to 3rd grade |
| Miss Spider's Tea Party is about a lonely
spider who would love to have her friends over for a tea party.
Unfortunately she is an infamous spider that nobody would ever dare to cove
near. Until one day Miss Spider befriends a rain-soaked moth, and her
good deed is hear all throughout the insect world. |
| David Kirk tells this take with unique word
play. This book is great for introducing rhyming or even
discrimination. After reading this, children will be able to connect
their prejudices with Miss Spider and understand that just because somebody
is different, doesn't mean that they are bad. |
| Superb illustrations |
| There are some harder words that some children
will have a hard time pronouncing and understanding. It is good to
note that there is not questionable content. |
| Available from Barnes
and Nobel. |
