What is The itsy bitsy spider about?

Follow the itsy bitsy spider as it bravely climbs the waterspout, only to be washed away by the rain. When the sun shines again, the determined little spider tries once more. This charming board book brings the classic nursery rhyme to life with bright illustrations, a soft spider applique and colourful satin ribbon tags for little fingers to explore. Its simple, repetitive words and lively action make it ideal for sharing aloud with babies and toddlers as they sing, touch and join in.
