Miss Spider's New Car

Another wonderful title in the Miss Spider best-selling series!

This time lovely Miss Spider goes car-shopping with her husband, Holley. At Mantis Motors, a praying mantis named Mik is a used car sales-insect. Mik Mantis croons:

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 Spider and Holley explore other car lots and encounter a few near misses, but all ends well thanks to the help of benevolent Moth Sue. David Kirk's exuberant, luminous colors and hilarious 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.
