This Holiday season, a Santa in need, needs a Beanie indeed! When Santa makes an emergency stop at the art gallery where Beanie the Spider lives, and there is no one around to help, a tiny spider comes to the rescue. Join in the adventures as Beanie celebrates her first Christmas by meeting Santa Claus, reindeer and all!

Taking place in a fine art gallery featuring real artwork, Adventures of Beanie the Spider, by Christine Banks, is a creative way to introduce children to art galleries and spark interest in the arts. Inspired by a real spider living on one of the author's paintings, they are sweet stories about imagination, adventure, and friendship. Written in rhyme, it's fun for adults to read to children and for young independent readers alike. The adventures continue with engaging after-the-story activities at the end of each book. A repeatable favorite for the whole family, with more stories on the way!
