Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.

Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends is an animated program based on the children's books by David Kirk, which airs on Nick Jr. in the United States, on Treehouse TV in Canada, and on Discovery Kids in Brazil. Each episode follows the everyday adventures of a family of bugs, who have made their home in what is called the Hollow Tree, led by the gentle, kind-hearted Miss Spider. Our gifts, they are many: We hop, fly and crawl. But kindness is the finest of all! - Miss Spider
