I saw this book, and it reminded me of my mother singing the same little 'Eency Weency Spider' or 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' song, and having fun getting tickled with the spider crawling up my leg. I thought it would make quite a nice gift birthday gift for my 2 year old niece along with the Little Tyke xylophone.

Her mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa can read, sing, and share the story of a slow spider that keeps getting left behind when the other spiders go up a waterspout through a variety of engaging activites like by dancing like a ballerina or flying by airplane, etc. The eency weency spider keeps trying her best all the way through to a surprise ending.

In addition to the kid-friendly illustrations, there are cute little 3D spiders glued onto the pages that can be seen through a series of holes drilled into the book. Each time the page is turned the number of spiders decreases until there is only one left, which should be useful in teaching counting skills.

It is neat to me still at the age of 31, reminding me of the endearing Very Hungry Caterpillar book by Eric Carle. There is also a little button which plays the 'Eency Weency Spider' tune, so you can easily learn the melody to sing to your little one. At some point the battery will give out and your memory will have to suffice, though. (it will!)

This one is a classic, whether your child is a future entymologist, squirms at the sight of anything with 6 or 8 legs, or is somewhere in between.

My son is only 16 months old, so he likes to have things read to him over and over again. He really enjoyed this book because it had music to go along with the story.

I would sing this to my children as they were growing up and now to my first granddaughter. The book is really a great one. The colors and pictures are wonderful. The only problem is the music button. It is not very loud and we have to hold the book up to our ears. It is a wonderful book that I would buy again.

I first saw this book at a Gordmans and I bought it for my daughter that was just born. I sang this book to her and she loves it. At 19 months old so brings the book to me and asks for the "spider". I tried looking for another copy to have that was nice since my daughter loves flipping through pages and they are torn and bent something terrible. I found a copy on here and had to get it. I wanted a copy to give to my daughter when she is bigger and I wanted a nice copy for her.

This is hands down my daughter's favorite book. I've read it to her at least twice a day since she was 8 months old; she's now 16 months old and it's still one of her bedtime "must reads". She LOVES pushing the button to start the music. She also likes running her fingers over the spiders on each page. The pictures are delightful and the story is charming. I just wish I could find more books like this one. This is a great book for young children and babies.

If you like ladybugs and monkeys this one is also good. Not quite as good, but a great option when you're ready to read something else.

I got this book for my youngest grandson who loves the Itsy bitsy spider song and he loves this book.
