A second title about this loveable character who never quite manages to keep up with his classmates. School stories with the essential feel-good factor.
Spider is always saying and doing the wrong thing: he forgets the punchlines to his own jokes; he daydreams in class; he always has odd socks on; and he even gets into a muddle over his party invitations. He may be a hopeless case, but is the most lovable of children and usually turns out to be the hero. Three stories in one book: in the first, Spider's class visits a doughnut factory but instead of a doughnut, Spider decides to make a doughnut man. In the second story, Spider's class as doing a project on the USA. Everyone is supposed to come to schools dressed as a cowboy, but Spider decides to be Geronimo. In the third story, it's Spider's birthday and he makes and gives out invitations - but for the wrong day!
Spider McDrew is the lovable boy who can’t help being one step behind everyone else in his class. Three gently and funny school stories in one book. A Roaring Good Read for confident readers.
Spider McDrew is a hopeless case – or so everyone says – but somehow he always manages to surprise everyone. Spider is slow and a dreamer, the sort of child who is always one step behind the rest of the class, but this doesn't mean he's stupid – far from it. Three gently humorous stories about this loveable character – his adventures at school. There's a football story – quite by accident Spider scores the winning goal; a pet story – Spider brings a cow into the playground for his school pets' project! And a school play story where Spider stars, by default. Bursting with character and originality, the author offers acutely perceptive snapshots of contemporary school life.
