Hard to maintain grandson's interest....pictures are too cluttered and verse is too.

Kids will discover where the Itsy Bitsy Spider went after she left the waterspout and why! Great pictures! Good rhyming book. Former kindergarten teacher

This is the perfect book for kindergarten children to learn. Even the most basic of stories open their little minds to the world of humanity and its wonders of story telling.

My daughter loved this book when she was about 3 years old. It has given to her as a gift. We had to read it almost everynight and sometimes 2 or3 times in a row. When she got older, however, I gave it a way to a friend because she had a little boy. Now, I have a 15 month old son and am going to buy it for him. He loves to sing the song and tries to do the hand signs. I just know he will love this book too.

My daughter loves singing the itsy bitsy spider song so this book was perfect for her! It is a little long, but we have fun trying to find the spider on every page!

I saw this book in a clearance bin while shopping, I picked it up since it was always a favorite. Little did I know that it would be a hit with my 2 year old class. I have one student who has me read it to her every single day. Now I am ordering it just for her, since it seems to be her favorite too!!

My 4 yr. old and 15 month old daughters love this book. They can't get enough! We sing the words together. I love how she has gone a step further with our childhood stories. The illustrations are beautiful & our daughters love to find the spider on each page. We always have fun with this book!!! I want all her books.
