Barry B. Wary

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carrie Gifford. Spider Barry B. Wary loves to eat bugs--"Crispy click beetles! Mayflies in June! / A firefly soufflé by the light of the moon!" When he falls for a butterfly, he reconsiders his eating habits--for a while, at least. This funny, morbid tale features tastefully tinted black-outlined illustrations recalling the somberly fastidious work of Edward Gorey.
