Walter's Wonderful Web tells the story of Walter the spider who is trying to build his first web, but isn't quite getting it. Whenever a gust of wind comes through it blows Walter's web away. Read the book and discover all the different shapes Walter creates while trying to make the perfect web.
The illustrations are bright, inviting, and mimic a crayon drawing. My favorite illustration is the final one where Walter makes his "wonderful web".
I would use this book in a Kindergarten classroom. Walter's Wonderful Web would be wonderful to aid in introducing shapes to kindergartners. For a math lesson, after teaching about each shape, you could give students pieces of white yarn and have them to create the shapes from the book out of the yarn to form their own shape webs.
Perfect book to incorporate an Arts Literacy standard! Cute book and thanks for sharing!
