Description

The eensy weensy spider went up the water-spout,

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.

And the eensy weensy spider went up the spout again.

This imaginative adaptation begins when it finally stops raining and the eensy-weensy spider leaps off the water spout and out into the neighbourhood to go on an unexpected adventure. Mary Ann Hoberman's playful rhymes set to a familiar tune make this a perfect read-aloud, while Nadine Westcott's classic illustrations are full of clever details that make every page turn a pleasure.

The original edition of this board book sold over 130,000 copies and still reprints regularly. This fresh new design treatment and larger trim will make sure it continues to perform well in the modern day board book market.
