Publisher's Summary:
Westly is a caterpillar who is destined to be a monarch butterfly, but when he emerges from his cocoon, he is not what he expected. He's a spider! Westly flees his home among the butterflies and is eventually adopted by the "dirt eaters".
But where does Westly belong? And what can he do to stop an outside threat that could destroy his entire kingdom? One thing is for certain: Westly is determined to make a difference, to belong, to be loved, and, most importantly, to become who he was born to be.
Members Reviews:
From a talented creator.
Great little book for kids, I think my boys will like it when they're old enough. I picked up a copy last year after doing a few panels with Bryan Beus at LTUE, he's an insightful artist and I learned some neat stuff from him. It's not surprising that such an endearing story came from his imagination.
A terrific read, teaching life lessons with adorable characters
A terrific read, teaching life lessons with adorable characters. You'll quickly fall in love with the charming illustrations that accompany the tale. Even though I am not the age group it is intended for, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! I'm so grateful for a wholesome story that is engaging and full of so many good values. Well done!
Five Stars
Amazing read for kids and adults. Life changing themes!
It's a great book, with a good message for kids, and very entertaining.
I was very excited to read Westly: A Spider's Tale to my 2nd grade class. I have to say, they were enchanted from the first chapter. They really loved the characters and they also liked the different voices I used as I read the novel to them. This book is perfect for the age group I teach, 7-8 year olds. They couldn't wait each day until after lunch when it was time for Read-Aloud. They all groaned when I ended a chapter and put the book away to do something else. They learned the main message from the book, {which impressed me} without me telling them.
I decided to have my class help me write this review. When we finished the book, I had them write down what they liked the most about Westly. Who better to see how kids liked the book than hear from kids themselves? So here is what they had to say, at least those who turned their paper in...{There may be some spoilers here :) and the spelling has been corrected in order for you to read their comments. ;) }
Beckett: "My favorite character was the raven. I liked the book because Westly became a hero and saved all the insects."
Cole: "My favorite characters were Westly, Zug Zug and the Raven."
Ava: "I like when Westly turns into a spider. My favorite characters is Zug Zug the fly."
Gretta: "My favorite part was when Wesley was in the menagerie and he almost died, but it was super, duper sad...I would think every body would like Westly. It is awesome; my favorite book!
Ty: "Westly learned being different was fine."
Serg: "I learned that at the end Westly became King of the menagerie."
Aryianna: "I learned it doesn't matter if someone is different. I just love Westly. It's a good book!"
Brooklyn: "I liked the part where Westly's dad hugs him. I want to share it with my friends."
Evan: "I liked that we don't have to be sad if we are different.
