Itsy Bitsy Spider

Wheeeee! Come and play for a day at the Itsy Bitsy Splishy Splashy Bug Water park in this energetic reimagining of a favorite nursery rhyme in Jane Cabrera’s Story Time Collection.

Itsy Bitsy Spider climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Itsy Bitsy Spider found it so much fun.
He asked all his friends if they would come along!

Itsy Bitsy Spider can’t wait for the rain to come down—that’s when he gets to ride his bug water slide! But not all of his bug friends know how to swim. They’ll have to put their heads together to dream up a different way to have fun. Jane Cabrera accompanies this sing-along classic with upbeat illustrations and cheerful text that will have young readers and parents eagerly turning the pages.
