Frank the Seven-Legged Spider

(3) K-3 Spunky spider Frank wakes up one day missing a leg. Is he still a spider with only seven legs? Eventually he realizes he can still do all the spider things--including scaring "silly humans"--without it. Although an uplifting tale of identity and acceptance of a disability, it's also funny and not at all sentimental. Speech balloons and other comics conventions propel the child-appealing story forward.
