From New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book artist Isabelle Simler, a picture book (and nature guide!) to linger over. In nature, there is much to see. Look closely as a spider -- both a collector and an artist -- skillfully crafts a masterpiece from all that falls into her path. Patient and observant, she appreciates all the wonders that make up her landscape -- from ferns and feathers to bugs and butterflies.

Ages 3 to 8. Full color picture book. Hardcover with dust jacket. 12'' wide x 8-5/8'' high. 48 pages.
