I enjoyed the book because there were lots of giant bugs bigger than humans.

I found this one funny but it’s not a favourite of mine. I think other children would like it.

This was a brilliant book from the scary fairy tales. Jack loved his spider called Webster but had to sell him as his nan was poor. She ended up being wrapped up in a web and taken by a giant spider to Creepy Crawly Land. I would definitely recommend these books!

Jack loves insects and spiders but his aunt, who he lives with, hates them. She makes him sell his pet spider but soon wishes she hadn't when Jack brings back a tiny egg that turns into a ginormous spider. They visit the land of big bugs where Jack's kindness gets them a lovely suprise
