Eric Carle has been passionate about nature and especially about small creatures all his life. Not for nothing are they the protagonists in his most successful picture books. This anthology contains the four individual titles The Little Spider Spins and Keeps Silent, The Little Cricket Sings Her Song, Click You Must, Little Bug! and The Little Firefly. There are 24 extra pages with matching puzzles, recipes and craft tips for each story. You can spin spider webs, make delicious bumblebee balls, make a firefly, or build a great cricket instrument and then make music with it. A letter from the artist to his readers rounds out this read-aloud and activity treasure.
