it was amazing

"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly.

This cautionary tale dating back to 1829 still resonates today, the cunning spider uses all his charm to try and seduce his pray into his trap.
The first line is so iconic and really sets up the battle of wills in this creepy poem.

The timeless rhyme is beautifully told with sinisterly dark illustrations by Tony DiTerlizzi.
The spiders cruel intentions are plan to see, whilst the poor fly is perfectly depicted as young and innocent.
There's even a seriously creepy doll lurking in the background just to add to the horror!

This picture book has the perfect combination with an important life lesson for youngsters, whilst the parents will appreciate the care taken in the way the poem was presented.
