a series that holds kids' attention and teaches great lessons
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book teaches an important lesson about about respecting other people's feelings. Many kids have trouble understanding how others feel, and this book gently helps them to empathize. It also explains that tears can be okay, and even useful at times. This series is really nice. The illustration style is very interesting and unique--bright colors, endearing characters, engaging stories-- you can't go wrong. Both the books and the neat DVDs in the "Miss Spider" series are always based around positive values. The characters are not perfect-- they make mistakes, etc. But in the end they learn important lessons about family, friendship, and how we should treat others. Interestingly, Miss Spider was herself an adopted "buggie" (you may enjoy the Miss Spider original book). As an adult her own family includes adopted buggies, too. Most children who live with their biological parents will not think twice about this aspect of the series, but kids who have been adopted may appreciate the subtle way in which Miss Spider stories show that adoption is a wonderful way to make or expand your family-- and that what defines a family is love.
"Big Bugs Do Cry...When They Need To"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
"Cry Buggie" is a touching "Miss Spider" book release focusing on the character Squirt. Based on a television story, when Dragon sees Wiggle crying, he tells Squirt that Wiggle is a "cry buggie" and big bugs never cry. Later, Squirt sprains his ankle right before a big soccerberry tournament. Squirt is very sad, but remembers what Dragon said, holds his feelings in, and doesn't cry. Eventually, Squirt learns the truth about crying. Crying is natural, and like rain in nature, something beautiful can come afterwards.
