Latest reviews

Good illustrations and vocabulary. It was short but I liked it

This a non fiction story that explains a spider called Spinderella starts to play the well know game of football.She is determined and dedicated to winning the tough game.However,she faces tricky challenges to reaching his goal. He starts to realise that he knows nothing.He is mind is nothing short of absolutely nothing.But.…Hairy Godmother has a plan.

It was a fiction book because spiders cant play football/soccer. I cant belive how her parents and family only say lots and loads. Im glad spinderella taught them how to count. She can make equal teams. She was my favourite charecter.

This is a lovely story about a spider who loves counting just like me. Is a fun why to learn some simple maths. With a clever spider. And not let others get her down.she fun and my favourite in this fictional book. I think you’ll love it too and recommend you read it too.

My favourite people in this book were Spinderella and the Hairy Godmother. I like the Hairy godmother because she is hariy which rhymes with fairy. I don't like the brothers because they don't like numbers, and we need to know numbers so we can count things.

My favourite character was Speedy, because he is the oldest and runs the fastest, and I like running. I like the fact that Spinderella loves numbers. It's a great book, I would definitely recommend it to someone else.

its okay but i woudent read it a lot but its good it is i like the mane character the best

It good I like it. It is about a spider who wanted to cant

It was great as it had a spinder in it and it helped me learn to count.
