Review

Rosemary said that there will be mice and spiders with webs.... Sherrill S. Cannon's children's educational book, is a fun and easy to understand introduction to computers, and it works marvelously...verse is breezy and smooth, with rhymes that are clever and witty, and Kalpart's illustrations are bright and cheerful. While the nature and animal geek in me was somewhat disappointed that [it] didn't feature a tarantula and mice for classroom pets, the techie in me was thrilled with this literate and rhymed primer to computing...highly recommended - Jack Magnus, Readers Favorite 5 Stars

7th in a series of successful educational books for children, Mice & Spiders & Webs...Oh My! is a rhyming story about learning to be a good listener. Rosemary is a school child who tells her mother she is afraid to go to school, only to discover...a new surprise, computers that speak. Integrated into the illustrations are pictures of some of the author's other books. The special notes page also repeats special computer terms used and asks the reader, Are you a good listener?...a winner for children age 6 and up, with plenty of humor and action to keep attention riveted. -  Midwest Book Review

I love Sherrill Cannon's style. She is an absolute master of rhyming... Mice & Spiders & Webs... Oh My! features a wonderful rhyming tale with an important underlying message about "being a good listener". As an added bonus, the book also features bright and kid-friendly illustrations with cameo appearances of characters and covers from previous books. I highly recommend this (and other books by Sherrill S. Cannon) for children ages 4 to 8 years. - MotherDaughterBookReviews
