The Very Busy Spider(Step into Reading, Step 2)

Join the Very Busy Spider and all her friends in this classic story, newly joining the premier reader line, Step into Reading!

A spider, blown by the wind to a fence post near a farm yard, begins to build her web and cannot be distracted from the task at hand--not by the horse, cow, sheep, goat, or dog. But when the rooster asks if she wants to catch a pesky fly, the busy spider is able to catch it in her web immediately!
