"Come into my parlor said the

spider to the fly..."

I like to put books on here that my kids enjoy. Tony DiTerlizzi, the illustrator who did  "The Spiderwick Chronicles", illustrates this classic poem.  It is such a great book to own.  The pictures are all black and white, very cleverly done, and really capture the mood of the poem. My five year old loves it the most.  It's a great book to talk about how looks can be deceiving and stranger discussions etc.  I've also used this poem in lessons for the teenage girls at church. It's a great attention-getter when discussing avoiding temptation and how you can slowly, slowly be worn down, if you're not careful.  My mom used to tell us.."First you abhor it, next you accept it, then you embrace it." This phrase really applies here.  YW lesson in a nutshell! Anyway, great all around book for all ages.
