Sammy Spider's First Mitzvah

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Katherine Janus Kahn. Sammy Spider watches a neighbor deliver chicken soup to Josh, who has a cold. Sammy helps Josh by spinning a web to make him feel better. The slight story doesn't actually define the word mitzvah, though readers might pick it up from context. Rough but colorful collage illustrations have some nice details, like text written in Sammy's web, Charlotte's Web–style.
