Sophie's Masterpiece

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Dyer. Drab Beekman's Boardinghouse seems the perfect setting for Sophie the spider's extraordinary spinning talents. But most of the human residents don't even notice her brilliantly designed creations. The graceful telling glimmers with feeling and occasional humor, while the full-page watercolors and lacy spot art capture the delicate magic of Sophie's webs and enhance the tale's quiet mood.
