Aaaarrgghh! Spider! great to bring to life
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Aaaaarrgghh! Spider! is a terrific book to dramatize in a preschool classroom. All it requires is a small stick puppet in the shape of a spider for each child to manipulate and their off on an arachnid adventure definitely worth the price of the book. Obviously the author knows about small children.
Great Book

My three year old love, love, loves this book! And, so do I. It is fun to read because he loves to yell Aarrrgghhh Spider! He is even recognizing the words,"out you go!" now. I bought this book because my son does not like very wordy books, but I wanted more than just a picture book to help his language development. This book is in my opinion the perfect mix of the two. I highly recommend this book.
Adorable

This is a very cute story for any time and also for Halloween. I read it to my daughter's Kindergarten class at their Halloween party and they loved it! They enjoyed shouting out "Aaaargghh! Spider!" at every opportunity. It was perfect for that age group since it wasn't scary but still was appropriate for the holiday.
Great story - format is pleasantly repetitive

As a teacher and mommy, I love this book! The illustrations are wonderfully amusing and brightly colored. The story itself is a great perspective on the life of a spider and preconceptions about spiders. It is an excellent lead-in for writers' workshop. My son LOVES the predictable pattern, and at 14 months he would say "Aaargh!" and "Go!" with me as I'd read. This is a wonderful addition to the family/classroom library.
Great book for children - a joy to read

Aaaarrgghh! Spider! is a humorous read about a spider that just wants to be a family pet. However, he has one small problem. Every time he tries to do something to show how good he would be as a family pet the family screams and he is put out of the house. Written from the spider's point of view it is creative imagination at its best. Aaaarrgghh! Spider! is a highly recommended read for young children and sure to be one of their favorite books.
