BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
When a marble falls into the grass, all the small insects come to investigate. They don't know what it is. The frog tasted it - he didn't like it; the dung beetle tried to roll it; the grasshopper thought it might be a fallen star. The Luna moth tried to hatch it, and in the morning, the spider claimed it because it was now in his web. So the spider planned an exhibition, all the bugs helped, but soon the crowds disappeared and the spider needed another plan. But can this enterprising spider keep his community interested in participating?
The illustrations are all black and white except the marvelous marble (and other things that come later - no spoilers here) There are so many lessons in this story: patience, greed, imagination, community - I really liked it. I think young readers will enjoy "It Fell From the Sky" as much as I did.
