For Kids and Their Grown-Ups: “A Spider Named Itsy” by Steve Light

About Blog Post Jul 31, 2024 by SCLSNJ Staff
For Kids and Their Grown-Ups: “A Spider Named Itsy” by Steve Light Review by Laura Frantz, collection development librarian We think we know the story of the “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” but author-illustrator Steve Light spins a refreshing new take on this well-loved rhyme. Light gives us the spider’s backstory and highlights what happens along the way. It is a story of courage, resilience and friendship all set against the backdrop of Light’s signature illustrations. The artwork is a marvel with intricate detailing found on each page. A joyful picture book that is ideal for reading aloud.
