11% hunger to succeed (or actual hunger)
34% trying again and again ... and again!
53% giving it another shot
And 2% spider silk.
A hilarious tale of one spider's determined search for a decent meal from award winning author and illustrator Anna McGregor.
'The protagonist is Spiro, a determined little spider on a mission to catch his next meal ... his story shows young readers that success is a combination of perseverance and effort ... Spiro is a heartwarming picture book with a cheeky sense of humour and a solid message about persistence for young readers aged 3+. McGregor's illustrations and hand-lettering add vibrancy to the tale, especially with the pops of neon pink.'
