About This Book

A shy eight-legged newcomer settles among woodland neighbors and becomes known for his odd gait and gentle manners, prompting others to treat him as a kindly, mysterious advisor. His presence provokes a jealous rival and a string of neighborhood mishaps in which he tries to help, becomes trapped or chased (including an ant attack), and loses a small possession, yet repeatedly shows practical resourcefulness. Those incidents lead to a change in how neighbors regard him, culminating in a personal transformation and the assumption of a new social role within the community.
