The Scary Spider

A true story about a scary spider who came to visit me one day.  I thought she would stay forever but she didn't.   It turned out she wasn't so scary after all.

This is a welcome addition to her series of picture books that deal with every day encounters with the natural world. It's just perfect for children (or even adults) with a fear of spiders. The rhyming text makes this an easy read and remember story. Illustrated with Keaveney's trademark vivid, sumptuous, colourful paintings, The Scary Spider is one of those books that will be read over and over. Joyful, beautiful and utterly delightful.

Colourful enjoyable and not so scary  - Alison Syron, age 8.
