A spider is busy spinning her web. Different animals come and talk to her, but the spider doesn’t answer. She is busy spinning her web.
Another good Eric Carle book. Eric Carle has good, colorful illustrations. I like this book.

One night, a caterpillar hatches and finds that he is very, very hungry. He eats and eats and eats and eats and eats — and soon is a big, fat caterpillar. Then he makes a cocoon….
A nice, colorful, humorous book. I like it.

Misty, the well-known and beloved horse of Chincoteague, is expecting to foal any day now, but a raging storm starts flooding the island and destroying the herds of wild ponies. Paul and Maureen Bebee grow more and more worried for Misty every day as the evacuation process begins and the anguish of separation draws near.
This is a special story of how the islands were destroyed, and how love and hope helped to rebuild courage. The key downside with this book is that a large portion of the plot is in deciding what to name Misty’s foal. Well, judging from the title, that’s decidedly non-suspenseful.
You might also want to take a look at Misty of Chincoteague, the first Misty book.

Mr. Elihu Margarine and his family have just moved to the Beans’ neighborhood. Mr. Margarine likes to hunt foxes and he rides over everyone’s property, not caring what gets destroyed. And on top of that, a rattlesnake is threatening the lives of several animals. Freddy is determined to stop both menaces, but it’s not an easy task.
Like most of the Freddy series, this is a very funny book. Freddy’s Comanche Kid disguise adds to the humor. I very much recommend that you read this book. Enjoy!

Woot the Wanderer arrives at the Tin Woodman’s tin castle in Oz. After dinner, the Tin Man, or Nick Chopper, tells Woot about how he became a tin man, and how he was once in love with a Munchkin girl named Nimmie Amee. Woot asks why Nick hasn’t gone to find her after all his adventures with Dorothy were over. So begins another Oz book, in which the Tin Man, Woot and the Scarecrow go to find Nimmie Amee and make her the Empress of the Winkies. You will encounter the Loons and the evil Yookoohoo, Mrs. Yoop.
This is a very funny one. Starting with the deliberate disobedience of the sign to beware the Loons, the whole book is filled with silly adventures that would only happen in Oz.
