On Saturday July 23rd, 2022 author and illustrator Chuck Whelon was invited for a Q&A conversation & signing of his latest search-and-find book “Where’s Itsy Bitsy Spider?” in the Bil Keane Family Lobby of San Francisco’s Cartoon Art Musuem, as part of the “Cartoonists In Real Life” program.
About “Where’s Itsy Bitsy Spider?“
Where’s Itsy Bitsy Spider is a puzzle search and find adventure book. It is an interactive book that is made for children or anyone with an interest in detective work. The book is narrated from a cast of Mother Goose characters who enter in a talent contest and embark on a world tour to find Itsy Bitsy Spider.
From their adventures they travel to the bustling city of London to the foggy red bridge city of San Francisco. Every page is filled with whimsical illustrations, colors, characters and life. Finding the Itsy Bitsy spider can prove to be a challenge as he hides behind, under, or above surrounding areas that can include characters, houses, waves, and even tennis courts.
Where’s Itsy Bitsy Spider is an educational book that has been approved by multiple teachers for strengthening a child’s observation skills. Kids are attracted to reading more and develop their basic reading comprehension skills with a fun activity that does not require any electronics.
