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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_K...

In this story the children were all going to work together and put on a play. But as they worked some ventured off to do other things, and others got tired etc. Which in the end left one to do all the work herself. She was very disappointed because she didn't think she could do the play after all...but with the help of Miss Spider she did put the play on and the other children were sorry they had abandoned her when she needed them.
I did not particularity care for this book, but it could be used when teaching children about expression while reading. The spiders all talk and seem to be very emotional throughout the book. This could show listeners how to incorporate expression in an easy way.
