Publisher Description
Why make an ordinary web when you can make one that's extraordinary?
Meet a determined little spider who can't seem to spin a perfect web. Whoosh goes the wind as it blows each web away! But one thing Walter can spin is spectacular shapes and one day he spins the most spectacular shape of all! It's better than perfect - it's a truly wonderful web.
Walter's Wonderful Web is another brilliantly conceived, beautifully written and wonderfully illustrated concept board book from the award-winning Tim Hopgood. A perfect introduction to shapes for all babies and toddlers, with bold and stylish illustrations that will appeal to all!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a lighthearted introduction to five basic shapes, a big-eyed spider named Walter attempts to build a web that will withstand the gusting wind. Walter's initial attempts, which include triangular, square, and diamond-shaped webs, aren't up to the task, and even a strong-looking circular web gets blown away. Eventually, Walter weaves an enormous web that incorporates all of the shapes a "truly wonderful web" that gleams in the moonlight. Hopgood doesn't really get into why Walter's final web is strong enough to get the job done (if anything, the implication is that size, not shape, is what matters), but the story still offers opportunities for adults to discuss shapes and the habits of spiders with young readers. Ages 2 4.
