Spiders with personality use their webs to demonstrate opposites in this clever concept board book.

Sixteens pairs of opposite words are presented with wit, whimsy, and webs. Familiar opposites like day and night are presented alongside more unexpected pairs like visible and invisible, proving that there's no web these silly spiders can't spin! Young readers will stretch both their imaginations and vocabularies as they laugh along with our eight-eyed, eight-legged friends.
"Charming illustrations breathe new life into a familiar theme and spin a delightful, original tale." -- Kirkus
