Squash the spider ISBN: 9780385603744
Ward, Nick
Published by David Fickling Books, 2003
Fear of spiders is common among children (adults, too, for that matter) but this very cheeky, very purple spider should help. Squash is his name, and as people are always shouting 'Squash the spider', it seems appropriate - a clever play on words here. Squash likes to play tricks, but when Billy saves him from certain death, he promises never to scare people again - well, almost never. Simple, but expressive comic-style pictures add much to the fun.
Age: 3+
