Description

Sarah, the ballet dancing spider’s talent for dancing (with her advantage of having eight legs) is truly put to the test as the farmyard animals decide to put on a show.

The idea behind the book

The Sarah The Spider series was written to help my daughter cope with a fear of spiders. I couldn't find a book about a friendly spider so I wrote one in rhyme, like a nursery rhyme. This poetic form is called 'doggerel'. People ask if she is still scared of spiders. She is! But not the little ones.

Review

Best book ever.

I like this book because it shows you that it doesn't matter what you look like it's how well you do something that counts. It's the best book ever.
