Un VERDADERO clásico de Eric Carle, creador de La oruga muy hambrienta.

Early one morning a little spider spins her web on a fence post. One by one, the animals of the nearby farm try to distract her, yet the busy little spider keeps diligently at her work. When she is done, she is able to show everyone that not only is her creation quite beautiful, it is also quite useful!

This multi-sensory book allows children to feel the pictures as well as see them. And with its rhythmic text, The Very Busy Spider becomes an experience to touch, to see, and to hear.
 
    Un día, muy temprano, una arañita comienza a tejer su telaraña en una cerca. Los animales de una granja cercana intentan distraerla, uno a la vez. Sin embargo, la atareada arañita sigue concentrada en su trabajo diligentemente. Cuando termina, queda demostrado que su creación no es solo preciosa, sino que también ¡es muy útil!
 
    Este libro estimula todos los sentidos, así que los niños no solo pueden ver las ilustraciones sino también palparlas. Con su rítmico texto, La araña muy ocupada ofrece una experiencia para el tacto, la vista y el oído.
