Title: Miss Spider's Tea Party
Description: **The modern classic about a sweet spider and her friends is now available for the first time in a Scholastic Bookshelf paperback version. When lonely Miss Spider tries to host a tea party, the other bugs refuse to come for fear of being eaten!**

"Miss Spider can't understand why insects flee in panic at her approach. **Being a florivore herself**, she only wants to invite them over for cakes and tea. The ironic air wafting through Kirk's rhymed tale will not be lost on young readers, and the insects in the big, brightly colored illustrations bear comically apprehensive expressions as they hastily depart . . . **At last, Miss Spider is able to convince a rain-soaked moth of her good intentions. A sweet tale."--School Library Journal**
