Why are we afraid of some spiders? And what if they’re just small creatures with their own names, families, and adventures? This book tells the story of the little spider Cleo, who says goodbye to his parents and siblings and sets off into the world. Thanks to sensitive storytelling and illustrations, children (and adults) can gradually “befriend” spiders and look at them with more curiosity than fear.
Reading is ideal for shared storytelling — an adult can gently guide a child with questions and let them tell for themselves what happened, what the animals are doing, and why. In addition to the spider story, the book offers other small threads to discover (for example, the adventures of a bumblebee or a dung beetle), and ants also appear, known from the first book in this series.
