Book of the Month

Diary of a Spider

Written by: Doreen Cronin
Illustrated by: Harry Bliss

SUMMARY:

This book is a diary of a spider, but don’t be worried.

He’s more scared of you than a gigantic shoe! Actually, he’s a lot like you. He goes to gym class and has Grandparents’ Day at school. But he also spins sticky webs, scales walls and takes wind-catching lessons. Lucky for him, his best friend is a Fly!

Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss are the team behind this sequel to the Diary of a Worm. In the books they spin a hilarious tale about the upside-down web world of and eight-legged charmer and his unlikely friend, Fly.
