Little Miss Muffet

Poor little Miss Muffet. She just can’t seem to catch a break! All she wants to do is eat her curds and whey in peace. But when a rather terrifying spider appears, she desperately scurries away. Frantically searching for some much-needed solace, she ventures outside only to be startled by a vivacious frog, a squawking crow, and easily the largest moose ever seen! What else could she possibly encounter outside? And will she ever get back to the safety of her tuffet?
