The Itsy Bitsy Spider (Iza Trapani's Extended Nursery Rhymes)

We LOVE this book! I started singing it to my 3 year old and she kindly said, "no mommy, that's ok, just read it don't sing".....well then. I can take a hint. Lol. Fun book!

Itsy Bitsy Spider was our first Iza Trapani book. Four years later, we have a great collection of books written by Mrs. Trapani and we love them all. Itsy Bitsy is a little bit different than the others, as the words and vocabulary are more simplistic and appeal to the younger toddler. This book was a favorite for both our girls when they were about 15 months to 24 months. They were greatly amused that the cute little spider was so busy. Our family enjoys reading and singing all of Mrs. Trapani's books. Some of her books flow a little better than others but the illustrations are beautiful in all of them. Itsy Bitsy has always been my husband's favorite but I like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Our 5 year old will argue that Jingle Bells is the best and our 2 year old flip flops between I'm a Little Teapot and Shoo Fly as her favorites.

My three year old daughter loves this book! I originally read it for a mini lesson I did for my early childhood education class and had to get it for home! Such a cute story for this nursery rhyme.

Lovely book! Loved the illustrations and how the first verse was expanded to create a very interesting story with a surprise ending. There were lots of giggles when I read this to my classes!

This is the cutest baby book... it adds lovely verses to the song we all know by heart! When the baby is screaming and you can't think... this tune is still one that comes to mind and the additional verses keep you from going crazy repeating the same thing over and over.

Our daughter loves when we sing this authors books. We own several and they always keep her entertained no matter how many times we read them. Our two year old can never have it read too many times to her.

Illustrations in this book are beautiful and the book is a joy to read or sing to young children. It has wonderful rhythm. My Kindergarten students loved it. I am giving this version (boardbook) to a new grandmother.

Saw this book at my granddaughter's preschool one morning and fell in love with the illustrations. Of course everyone knows the Itsy Bitsy Spider (I didn't know there were more verses). But I had to get this book for my granddaughter because it is so beautifully illustrated.

Bought this book for my 14 month old grandson and he thoroughly enjoys looking at all the picturesand being told the story. Beautiful illustrations.

Love this extended version of itsy bitsy spider! My 3 month old daughter loves when I read this to her

Schönes Buch. Zum mitsingen gut geeignet

Belle illustrazioni, pensavo però foase un po' più ricco di canzoncineIn ogni caso, molto carino

Fantastic book. Great additional verses to the original song. Kids ages 1-gr 2 love it. (I'm a teacher). Highly recommended.
