I liked it when the spiders scored a goal.

I loved that it was Spinderella instead of Cinderella and The Hairy Godmother instead of The Fairy Godmother.

The person I like is Spinderella because she is up with numbers although her mum and nine brothers and sisters always say loads. I would recommend it to others if they would want to count.

I liked Spinderella the best. She was trying to make the game fair by getting the same amount of players on each football team. I think lots of other people will like this book.

The person I like is Spinderella because she's up to numbers and done a goal. I would recommend it to others because you can learn numbers.

This book was about numbers and counting. Spinderellas brothers and sisters weren't very nice to her but they were at the end. I like the hairy godmother too, that made me laugh.

I like this book because it about how the children at the school and the spiders living there play football and use it to learn to count. My favourite part was when the spiders got their football boots and played a game of football. I would recommend this book to people who like football.

I really liked the main spider, Spinderella. Im glad she got to do some maths.

The spiders were silly because they weren’t wearing football boots and they didn’t know how to count. My favourite person was Speedy the spider.

I liked this book when they played football with a pea and I also liked that the Fairy Godmother was called the Hairy Godmother!
