How Spider Saved Halloween: 12/01/23
How Spider Saved Halloween by Robert Kraus (1973) was published the year I was born. I think I had it read to me way back when. I came across it again via social media — Instagram, I think. As it was coming up on Halloween, I though it was a good time to read or re-read it. Spider's having one of those days where he just can't get a costume he feels comfortable in. His complaint is that the costumes don't disguise him enough. He still looks like spider but in a funny hat, for example. Fortunately Spider has good friends in Fly and Ladybug. They have costume ideas and the patience to help Spider with his. There's also a subplot involving bullies. The friends' reaction to the bullies is what spurs on Spider to his final and best costume choice. Five stars Comments (0) |
