Spider Sandwiches
Illustrator: Sue HendraFrom the author of the bestselling Aliens Love Underpants series, comes this slimy tale of Max the monster, who enjoys all sorts of distinctly unappetising and squelchy food. Not for the fainthearted (toenail scrambled eggs and cold crunchy cockroach curry are typical dishes enjoyed by Max), this is sure to be a delicious treat for many a preschooler, who will squirm with delighted disgust at the array of provisions described and illustrated. A twist in the tale concludes this banquet perfectly and will bring a final groan before the inevitable cries of ‘again!’ ensue. Each page is bursting with bright colour and movement, with plenty to look at. The use of intense colours on a black background is very effective in bringing an ‘out of this world’ feel to Max’s menus.
