Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids

My daughter loves reading about her favorite Sunny Patch friends. And I love being able to turn off the TV. Images are beautiful. A pleasure to read.

My grandson is totally in love with Miss Spider Books. He carries them around with him all the time. When his dad tells him to get a book to read at bedtime (or anytime) he ALWAYS gets one of his Miss Spider Books.

I've been reading this book to my daughter since she was 6 months old. She loves all of the Miss Spider books. It could be the great colors or the wonderful rhymes. Maybe it's because I adore it too! The best thing about this particular book is the fact that Miss Spider adopts babies who are not spiders. I think teaching kids that loving families don't all look alike is a powerful message. It's never too early to start those good messages.

My 4 year old wants me to read this book EVERY night. She's memorized almost all the words and LOVES to finish the rhymes. Squirt learns he can pursue a noble goal - finding the mother of the egg - through lots of dangers. Parents are reassured that they ARE teaching their children to be "brave and good". One of my favorite books... I'll be setting it aside in my kids' "memory boxes" for them to read to their children, and I'm buying more copies for Christmas gifts this year.

This is another worthy Miss Spider entry. It's fun to think of Miss Spider as a mother and a wife. She's definitely still in charge! The rhyme is still there and fun to read.
