The newest adventure of the lovable Miss Spider brings readers on a wild ride through the bug buggy marketplace, where Miss Spider and Haley search for their dream car.David Kirk, creator of the bestselling favorites Miss Spider’s Tea Party and Miss Spider’s Wedding, has created another deliciously quirky, rhyming Miss Spider adventure. This time the amiable arachnid is car-shopping with her husband Holley. At Mantis Motors, a praying mantis named Mik is a used car sales-insect: “Mik Mantis crooned, ‘This honey runs/On Nectar from a flower./Its two-stem engine is equipped/With turbo-bumble power,/And capable of reaching speeds/Near ninety yards per hour!'”
Miss (or is it now Mrs.?) Spider and Holley explore other car lots (including Meg’s Wings n’ Things) and encounter a few near misses, but all ends well thanks to the help of benevolent Moth Sue. The book’s clever and original verse is laced with subtle ironies that won’t be lost on you or your little ones; in the first spread, for example, a note arrives “snail mail,” because the postal carrier is a snail. Kirk’s exuberant, luminous colors and hilarious, cartoonish depictions of the bug world are truly wonderful. Miss Spider’s New Car is the perfect book for any child who loves cars or bugs–not to mention a clever gift for any adult itching to buy his or her dream car. (Ages 4 to 8)
