The little brown fuzzy spider in this charming picture e-book by
Sanders is just adorable, and you find yourself in sympathy with him when he strolls through the garden admiring all the beautiful bright colors, and wishing he could be that color.

There is a rain shower, and afterward the spider sees a rainbow reflected in a puddle. If only he could be rainbow colored! He thinks he can jump into the puddle and become rainbow colored, but all he gets is wet.

The spider goes into the house where he lives and spots a set of paints that someone left on the table. Dipping one leg in each color is a great way to become rainbow hued. All goes well until the paint starts to dry. It doesn't stay soft, and when it hardens, spider can't bend his legs. How is he going to deal with this problem?

Children will enjoy this tale that takes the "creepy" out of spiders. Rainbow Spider is delightfully illustrated in bright colors with a border of cute bugs on each page, and a background of raindrops. The book comes complete with a full set of pages in line drawings to be printed as a color book. E-books are wonderful to help develop computer skills in tots as they turn the pages forward and back., and print their own color book. Available as a download to your favorite e-book reader or computer or as a CD.
