Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Story
Expanding upon the four-line nursery rhyme, storyteller David Novak spins an epic tale as young Itsy prepares to attempt what no spider has done before: scale the water spout. A nervous Mother Bitsy prepares her little Itsy as nourishing lunch; a fly salad sandwich, a bag of grasshopper chips, and a bottle of fresh-squeezed moth juice (100% natural). The result is an epic on a child's scale, in which determination, concentration, and grit are championed.

Highly dependent on purpose for reading
To simply read this story to a child I would struggle at giving this a 3 star rating. HOWEVER, with an older kids you can use some critical thinking skills & if you have a class this would be an excellent lead in to have THEM write the conclusion about the boy's perception and compare and contrast.
***Not a book for mere pleasure for a young child.

how lovely
Of course it's too short. That's the point. The book can't tell us what happens next, because we have to decide that for ourselves.
