Meet one brainy spider who’s tired of getting washed off that famous waterspout—and decides to do something about it! Figuring there must be something she can buy that will do the trick, Itsy Bitsy heads to the nearest store. But with only a dead fly to trade with, it looks like she may be out of luck. However, being a spider who thinks outside the web, the spunky insect puts all eight legs to the task and comes up with a surprising way to survive any rainy day. Inspired by her own daughter’s delight in the character and rhythms of the beloved song, Charise Mericle Harper created this affectionate homage for any child who’s ever sung along and wondered, “Hey, why does that spider keep falling off that spout?”
