Webster & Pippin

Something is hiding under the hedge on the far side of the water - the wide part, where nobody has ever crossed. It will not come out. Not for Pippin's trumpet (very loud). Not for Carl's forty-one questions (very fast). Not even for Tuck's snack (very thoughtful - he eats it himself and falls asleep waiting). Webster is a tarantula with spectacles and a famous book of facts, and for the first time in ten books, there is no page for this. Because you cannot shout at scared. It only ducks. Maybe you start with one pebble. The tenth Webster & Pippin adventure brings the whole garden to the edge of the wide water to build a bridge for somebody new - out of silk and sticks and moss and one bottle cap nobody explains. And when it is finished, nobody walks across it. That part matters. Did you know? When a spider needs to cross a gap far too wide to jump, it throws a single thread of silk into the breeze - with no idea whether it will catch. That first brave thread is called a bridge line, and every web ever built began with one. For ages 3-7 · 8.5 × 8.5 inches · full color throughout Book Ten of the Webster & Pippin series
