About the author

David Kirk is the creator of children's books that follow the character Miss Spider. Before writing books, he made colorful toys that were sold in hand-painted boxes. He was urged to write children's books when his toys caught the interest of a book packager. It wasn't difficult to figure out what he would use as characters in his stories: his daughter, Violet, had a liking for bugs.

The story is told in rhyming verse. Practice it ahead of time. Biddle Mouse has the responsibility of collecting food for his family, but he eats all the food he’s collecting, and plays around. There are lots of action world in this story and the pictures show colorful movement and energy. The book is small in size and better for a small group.
