The Spider and the Fly — Mary Howitt

“Will you walk into my parlor,” said the Spider to the Fly....

This enduring verse from Mary Howitt dates back to the nineteenth century, but its warning -- to beware the wiles of flattery -- remains as relevant as ever. Celebrated artist Tony DiTerlizzi, drawing inspiration from his love of classic Hollywood horror movies of the 1920s and 1930s, shines a cinematic spotlight on a quintessential cautionary tale.

In commemoration of its tenth year, this revitalized edition showcases both the Caldecott sticker and a custom anniversary sticker as well as a brand-new jacket, features an author's note and new art, and includes a four-color poster.
