A very hungry spider who won’t eat flies!?? The outrage! These trapped flies are ready to teach the spider— flies taste just as good as any other insect. Although, if they do succeed… Created by children's book author and illustrator E.B. Adams, The Very Hungry Spider plays off the repetitive children’s tale formula with the humorous twist. Part of the Sillywood Tales series. Hi everyone! Wow, this is the fastest I’ve ever made a video from writing it to uploading (less than a week!) I think it was because I had so much fun making this one. The kids kept coming up to see why I was making funny fly voices. So I had Noah record the title. Actually this is my first Sillywood Tales. I guess with YouTube I’m always thinking in playlists and series. But when I wrote this, I was thinking of just doing a one-off story with a kind of repetitive structure you’ll read in classic stories or even our family favorites like Julia Donaldson’s picture books. But I really like how it turned out so I thought I could make more of these and just group all silly animal stories are part of “Sillywood Tales”. I'm also going for a bit more minimal and graphic style that I see in European children’s books and I’ve also been playing around with procreate more on my iPad and stopped using clip paint on my computer. I find with different apps it just feels and works different and often that comes out visually too. Anyways, if you or your kids watched this, give me feedback below. On Youtube I’m just trying so many different things just to see what my audience might like. I also started posting sketches and visual dairy entries of our homesteading life on instagram: www.instagram.com/ebillustrated/ And of course SUBSCRIBE (www.youtube.com/c/ebadams?sub_confirmation=1) for more Sillywood Tales and stories for kids. I would love to have you join me. Links to other E.B.
