What's Everybuggy Reading: Spider
December 24th

As soon as I saw the cover of this book, I had to read it. When grandparents start hanging upside-down from chimneys, you know the story is going to be hilarious. And that’s my kind of story!
Emily and Louie have a special present for Grandpa this Christmas. Unfortunately, Grandpa can’t remember what holiday it is! He tries to guess by dressing up in different holiday costumes, but he keeps getting things wrong. The costumes are terrific, though—and the story has an unbelievable surprise ending.
But the most important lesson I learned from this story wasn’t about holidays, or sliding down chimneys, or how to be a good Grandspider. I learned that if you stick two pencils between your lips and your front teeth, it looks like you have FANGS!
