Description
Spring is here! The leaves are green. The sky is blue. The flowers are in bloom. And there's a new bird in town . . .
Bird is finally out on his own, but he's having a hard time. Finding the perfect tree is anything but easy. Building a perfect nest isn't going well. As for making friends? That's proving to be the biggest test of all.
That's when Spider swings by, catching Bird's eye. But they can't possibly be best friends . . . or can they?
Along Came a Spider by Raymond McGrath explores the unexpected friendship in the animal kingdom with charming illustrations and a heartwarming story.
