<p>Mice &amp; Spiders &amp; Webs...Oh My! Is your child a good listener? Rosemary is a little girl who is worried about returning to school after her teacher warns the class that they would soon have some mice, spiders, and webs in the classroom. Could Rosemary have misunderstood something? How can mice and spiders and webs belong at school? Full of &quot;Computer Speak,&quot; this story introduces young readers to basic computer terms in a delightful way! See if your child can discover the mystery of the misunderstood words, and learn about the fun of computers with Rosemary.

She has been called &quot;a modern day Dr. Seuss&quot; by GTMA Review. &quot;I love to teach, and this book teaches basic computer terms in a fun way. I am retired and spend six months of the year with my husband of 55 years, traveling from coast to coast and sharing books along the way. I grew up in The Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. , where my father was the manager. I'm the original Eloise!&quot; Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SherrillSCannon</p>

Story Behind The Book

There are two core events that drove the original story: the WWII sinking of the troopship SS Cape San Juan and the development of a sophisticated and secret new radar used by the Army Air Corps to track enemy fighter planes. Added to these was the panic within senior Nazi leaders about the beating they were taking from allied bombers. Thus a Nazi spy is sent to locate and steal the radar secrets and Amos Mead, OSS is detailed to counter the effort.
