Early one morning, a little spider drifts through the air and lands on a fence post at a busy farm. As the day unfolds, various animals invite her to play, but she remains focused, diligently spinning her web. With each visit, the refrain repeats: “The spider didn’t answer. She was very busy spinning her web.” Eric Carle’s rhythmic, repetitive text and vibrant collage illustrations engage young readers, while the raised, textured web offers a tactile experience that reinforces the spider’s determination and patience. This classic picture book celebrates persistence, sensory exploration, and the quiet satisfaction of completing a task.
