Spartacus the Spider

32 pp. | Creative Editions | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56846-213-4 $17.95
(4) K-3 Spartacus, a web-spinning-challenged spider, is embarrassed and hungry. When he hears about scientists' experiments to weave unbreakable cables, he adapts the idea to strengthen his web. But as he imagines the ramifications of the web's strength, he's scared and returns to his old ways. The engaging oversize illustrations play with perspective in this story with a preachy conclusion.
