This is a delightful Children's Book that follows Tim and his Grandfather Don on an adventure. Tim quickly learns that all life is important. Grandfather Don introduces Tim to all his friends in the fields and forest surrounding his house. The creatures tell Tim how important they are to the earth and without them life would be very different.
The reader has several questions at the end of the book and space for hand written answers. The questions get the reader a chance to express their feeling about the characters.
Beautifully written and illustrated, "Don't Step on the Spider" is an endearing, soothing book that filled me with a sense of being in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Young Tim's grandparents dote on him but when he goes outside to play and proposes to step on a spider he spied, his grandfather seizes the important teaching moment. Tim and his grandpa embark on a delightful adventure in which the boy discovers, through some of nature's smallest representatives, that we must respect all life as a critical part of our planet's magical balance.
