Description
For all of her life, Tante has heard stories of Christmas magic - when animals might talk or bees hum carols - and just once she would like to witness such marvels. Then one year, hundreds of curious spiders spin glittering webs full of the magic of the season on her tree. Ages 4 to 8.
Reviews
"A charming story." -- Publishers Weekly
Author Bio
Shirley Climo's love of folklore began in her childhood and has provided the background for many of her children's books, such as The Korean Cinderella, Magic & Mischief: Tales from Cornwall, A Treasury of Princesses: Princess Tales from Around the World, A Treasury of Mermaids: Mermaid Tales from Around the World, and Someone Saw a Spider: Spider Facts and Folktales, an NCTE Teacher's Choice and Library of Congress Best Children's Book that was originally inspired by her research for Cobweb Christmas. Mrs. Climo and her husband live in Los Altos, California.
