Cute characters with story done in rhyme for this Food Chain story.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The roly poly spider eats a lot and gets rounder and rounder. She waits for her prey on the side of her web and watches them squirm. Once she knows they are stuck in her web, she smiles and then eats them. I very much enjoyed the rhyming in this story. It flowed properly and almost in song. Some of the pictures were a bit morbid for really young kids who like flies and other insects such as, "The roly poly spider was casting out a line: she hooked a spotted beetle and reeled him in to dine. 'Sorry,' said the beetle, 'I really shouldn't stay.' But the roly poly spider drank beetle juice that day." and you see the beetle drained with it's eyes popped out of its head with a straw in its back and juice being sucked out of him, but in a cute cartoon style. This book is fun and teaches kids about the food chain and how and what spiders eat; I just wish the spider got eaten in the end to show the full cycle.

As a preschool teacher I can say that my children enjoyed this book. The story is a light-hearted poem that teaches children about nature and the food chain.
