  • We have this board book and it's the perfect size for my baby girl to hold and flip through. She just started being able to do so recently! Oct 19, 2023

  • We love this book - cute story and easy read! Great for baby and for toddlers too. Sep 19, 2023

  • Any book by Eric is amazing! Nov 04, 2021

  • Good books, colorful to catch baby's attention, fun and interesting. Jun 23, 2021

  • My son loves to touch the pages the very busy spider is on. Just like the very hungry caterpillar. May 25, 2021

  • Baby has been listening and watching this book since he was a week old. Adorable story and very well illustrated. Jan 22, 2021

    This is a repetitive story that gets chosen a lot in our home. It allows for fun animal noises and animal recognition. Jul 26, 2020

  • This book is another great read. It's a simple story about how a spider works so hard to complete her web and nothing gets in her way. Jan 02, 2020

  • We love ALL Eric Carle books. The artwork is spellbinding and the story entertains any audience :) Sep 16, 2019

    I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. May 23, 2019

    We have this on Moonlite and both kids love it. Different animals and they see a spider working hard through the book instead of playing. Jan 04, 2019

  • It's a good book but we change the words. I hate that the spider doesn't answer, I think it's rude. So we say the spider says no thank you. Good for learning animals and noises. Nov 02, 2018

    This one is a bit long and boring compared to his others. It's sold in board book form but I haven't had a baby who was ever interested in it. Dec 16, 2016

  • Love all his books but really enjoy reading this one! Jan 29, 2016

  • Sweet, classic book Feb 13, 2014

  • The story could be more engaging, although the textural spider webs are fun for my son to touch. Jan 29, 2014

  • I don't like this book. The whole thing is just about a spider who is too busy to talk to/do anything with anyone. Not a value I want to instill in my son. Jan 24, 2014
