Product Description Spider needs a firm place to set her egg which is about to hatch, but since sun, moon, and cloud tell her they have no room for it, she creates the world From School Library Journal KindergartenGrade 3?MacDonald's original creation story, using elements (style, characters, theme) familiar to the genre, is a fine achievement. "When the sky was young and the world just a dream," Nobb the spider floats through the air looking for a place to set her egg. The Moon refuses her, fearing the spider's "tiny sharp fangs." The Sun shudders at her "sticky white thread." The Cloud rejects those "eight itchy legs." Nobb weaves a net, catches, and slices off a small piece of each of them in turn to make Fire, Water, and Eartha firm home for her egg, from which all the creatures of the world hatched. From that day to this, Nobb resides with her friend the Air, "suspended halfway between the land and the sea and the stars." This simple tale of maternal creativity is enhanced by strong acrylic and gouache paintings. The broad outlines defining Nobb, Sun, and Moon are offset by swirled backgrounds and fine spider thread. Karas's palette balances delicate, nearneutral hues with deeptoned, saturated color. Text and pictures combine to make an effective, understated whole. Nobb is not quite Stellaluna, but her story could help forestall arachniphobia.?Patricia (Dooley) Lothrop Green, St. George's School, Newport, RICopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
