The Further Adventures of Spider
West African Folktales

Spider stars in three short tales called "How the World Got Wisdom", "Why Spiders Live in Dark Corners", and "How Spider Helped a Fisherman" in this collaboration between Joyce Cooper Arkhurst and Caldecott-winning artist Jerry Pinkney, now abridged and redesigned for early readers (Passport to Reading, Level 4).

Praise for Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star:
* "In Pinkney's sumptuous elaboration of the familiar lullaby, a chipmunk's nighttime odyssey takes on the same epic scope as his Caldecott winning The Lion and the Mouse.... Another superb outing from a fixed star twinkling in the children's literature firmament."(Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
