Spider and the Fly

Mary Howitt (2002), 40 pages
Illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi
Audience: 1st Grade - 8th Grade
Category: Poetry
This book is beautifully illustrated. DiTerlizzi uses black and white to set the mood of horror and suspense. The spider taunts the fly with food, and flattering words, to get it to enter his web. He finally succeeds, and the author proceeds to let the reader know that they should never be taken in by charming words; sometimes the intent is actually evil.
