Reviews / Votes
'The protagonist is Spiro, a determined little spider on a mission to catch his next meal ... his story shows young readers that success is a combination of perseverance and effort ... Spiro is a heartwarming picture book with a cheeky sense of humour and a solid message about persistence for young readers aged 3+. McGregor's illustrations and hand-lettering add vibrancy to the tale, especially with the pops of neon pink.' -- Karys McEwen * Books+Publishing * 'This cute spider is hungry and would love some yummy insects in her spider's web. However, when she thinks things will work out for her, a mishap will tear her web apart ... Undaunted, she will keep going, and going, and going, until a luminous moment when her ideas start to work and she can finally get to eat!' * GeekDad * 'This lively tale features colourful art and has a valuable message about never giving up!' * Storytime * 'This is a brilliant picture book which is ideal for story time and for sharing with young children. The illustrations are hilarious, and the story tells the reader how success comes from a combination of hard work, perseverance, and luck.' -- Carolyn Copland * The School Librarian *More details
