Written by Michelle Knudsen, Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes
Do you think it’s possible for a fuzzy spider to be mistaken for a kitten? Well, Luigi would like to be a kitten, but he is really a fuzzy spider. He lives in a house with a lady named Betty, and this is the story of their friendship. The cute artwork will catch kids’ and grownups’ eyes. Leave it to Kevin Hawkes, the illustrator, to help you imagine it. This is a fun read aloud to young kids and they will enjoy looking at the pictures on their own as well as following the story.
