When Spider meets Shrew, they are both down on their luck. Spider's web has blown away, and Shrew's home has just been paved over.
What happens when they decide to help each other out? They meet Bat, who is lonely for friends. Then they meet Possum, who can't find his mom; Dog, who misses her puppies; and Pony, who is out of a job. Everyone has problems, but this quirky new community is ready to lend a hand in creative and surprising ways. (From Groundwood Books)
When Spider Met Shrew is for ages 3 to 6.
