Spid
Illustrated by David McKee
(Red Fox)
978-0099592600, RRP £2.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Spid crawls up the plug hole and is welcomed by Henry in whose dressing-gown pocket he makes a temporary home. Then, by being useful, he proceeds to win the affections of a houseful of somewhat suspicious adults. There are some amusing incidents but I found that the whole thing began to drag well before the end. Solo readers will enjoy David McKee's comical illustrations but it is a pity that there aren't more of them.
