![]() ![]() What will happen to Helen!? And the animals!? But then an important guest is scheduled to visit the zoo and the manager wants the zoo cleaned top to bottom-including getting rid of all those nasty spider webs. (I was so fascinated by her web-building process as a kid!) The poor lions are first-they are plagued by flies but Helen eagerly catches flies for her meals and soon the lions are fly-free and happy. When the box is opened, she escapes and is soon building her web in the animals' cages. ![]() Helen the spider arrives at the front gates of the zoo with a note from the little boy who owns her asking them to please take care of her because can't take her with him to his new "no pets allowed" apartment. Oh, gosh! A rediscovered childhood favorite!!! This is actually from way before my time, even, (first published in the late '60s) and while it certainly is a tad dated now (such as all the workers at the zoo being men), I still think it could win over kids today. ![]()
