[Fatima Seraj Alam · Rating 4 out of 5]

A counting book that involves an orb-weaver spider 🕷️ and different birds and insects that visit and some get trapped in the spider web 🕸️. I learnt something new and that is if the web gets too tattered, the spider eats it and makes a new one. The last page is an informative page about the spider species.
