![]() ![]() I'm hooked on the idea of steam from a tea cup making the letter K and a silk thread for Miss Spider to hang from.

Then, a moth's wings become too damp to fly away and Miss Spider: She tries and tries to convince them to come, but beetles, fireflies, bees, ants, butterflies are too timid to try. It's a poem about a spider who hosts a tea party that no one comes too because all the insects are too afraid. My 6 year old daughter insists she is too old for it, but I keep dragging it off the shelf to read anyway. ![]() Miss Spider's Tea Party, by David Kirk, is one of my favorite children's books. ![]()
