Weaver and the Web
Description
Once night falls, Weaver emerges from the rolled-up leaf she sleeps in during the day, and begins searching for the perfect place to spin her latest web. She climbs up and scurries down, and winds around and around until she's created something perfect. But right after she catches her first crane fly, her web stretches and snaps and...Weaver is fallllllllling down. How will she catch bugs now?
Follow along as Weaver scuttles through the night and, with a bit of help, finds the perfect spot for web-making.
