Spider is hungry so she spins a web. As a storm blows in she meets Shrew. Shrew and Spider go on an unplanned adventure, and meet more friends. Each friend has their own problem, but they learn to work together each using their unique gifts and talents to help each other and themselves.

I like the repetition of the book, because it will help young readers build reading skills. The art work is great, very colorful. I didn't like "possum" bei ng referred to as "possum" and not "opossum", which is the correct name.
