(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi. Inspired by Gorey, Addams, and film noir, DiTerlizzi spins his own stylish version of Howitt's cautionary 1829 poem. As a debonair spider lures a doe-eyed fly to his lair, ghosts of the spider's prey flit about. Black-and-white illustrations with a silvery sheen capture the dance with cinematic flair. This edition of the Caldecott Honor book includes a poster on the flip side of the dust jacket.
