Spinderella is a great book with amazing illustrations and I highly recommend it. As adults, myself included, we need to leave behind our preconceived expectations and enjoy this book for what it is. This is definitely a B-side and far superior to an album filler. Just remember Strawberry Fields, I am a Walrus and Eleanor Rigby were all B-sides and they are now part of our musical heritage. It is important to say here that Spinderella was originally published in 2002 as part of the Go Bananas reading programme, so this is a re-release with a different illustrator.
For further reading, indulge your children in [[The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson and Axel Sheffler]] and [[Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and Axel ShefflerScheffler]] as these are my personal Julia Donaldson favourites. Many thanks to Egmont for sending me a review copy of Spinderella.
