  12. I would love to have a book explaining why we should be nice to spiders. I always have to fight my fear of spiders every time I see one. One thing that helps is that I hate bugs and Spiders eat bugs. I guess I need a book called Be Nice To Bugs too!

  17. This goes well with message in our home of "we don't kill spiders, they eat the bad bugs" maybe this book will help the other parents get on the message wagon with us.

  24. Just today outside in the yard enjoying a beautiful sunny day, my 4 year old boy said to me 'Mama, I am an expert on spiders you know. They make webs that are circles and squares!' Your blog is delightful. I stumbled across it looking for more information about Umbrella by Taro Yashima. Thankyou!
