Review Detail

I like that this book takes the classic nursery rhyme, ITSY BITSY SPIDER, and gives it so much personality. The text is short with pieces and parts of the nursery rhyme mixed in with a little bit of new text but the real delight is the detailed illustrations. The pictures invite a reader to stop and peruse over the details. It is sure to delight readers as they see the familiar parts of the rhyme combined with the new parts. I like that this story has become a book about friendship and community in the new home found on the water spout. This book will resonate with people who have experienced natural disasters or relocation and the banding together of neighbors that can come from the shared experience.
