Author: Eric Carle With over 300,000 copies sold since its publication in 1985, The Very Busy Spider is well on its way to becoming a modern classic. Follow an industrious spider as she carefully spins her web. A cow, a pig, and other farm animals want her to play–but a busy spider needs to finish her work, or there’ll be no dinner. Lesson plan for this story available at Lynn Kleiner’s Music Box Ages 3-6 For a unique and exciting lesson with Orff and recorder, see The Very Busy Spider
