What a disappointment when opening this package for what is suppose to be a brilliant book!
The book itself is in mini version - about the size of 2 credit cards. The RRP on the back is US$6.99 which equates to A$8.10!! This book is not value for money and was a huge disappointment for my 3yo son who also has The Very Hungry Catepillar and loves it.
My advice - if you want the miniture version without the interactive pages, buy this one, although the value money wise is questionable. Otherwise go to your local bookstore and purchase the boardbook for $16.95 which has large child friendly pop up pages.

My son loves this book. He only received it as a present a few weeks ago but i could recite it by heart! this book seems to ge everywhere he goes. it is great in helping him learn his animal sounds as each page has a picture of a different animal asking the spider to do something and barking or mooing depending on the animal. my son can now turn to a page and immitate the sound that animal would make without any help from me. what a wonderful learning tool.

I wish I'd taken the time to read the reviews before I purchased this book. I didn't realise I was purchasing a miniature book. I cannot for the life of me remember that it was described as such. It is so small and won't be easily used by my 2 year old granddaughter. The pages are sticking together too. It is simply not value for money and I will be reluctant to use this company again.

This is my fifteen month old son's favourite book and my two year olds adores it too. Full of familiar creatures and predictable text, it is a classic. It has the added interest of raised illustrations. Watch as the animals in the book get smaller and smaller and in the end, the spider gets the fly. Utterly satisfying and delightful to read. If you like great children's books you;ll love this book!

VERY SMALL BOOK BUT THE STORY GREAT CHILDRES STORY
BUT FROM A TACTILE VEW POINT THE BOOK IS TOO SMALL

Quite a nice story, especially for younger children who will enjoy making and hearing the animal sounds as you read. Nothing spectacular though, not a must read book for any of my children.

Was very dissappointed also but was my own fault. Did not read the blurb and book is just tiny, and cost 15.95 which was far to much for this. Will have to get something else for a present instead as am sure a child of 3yrs would feel ripped.

This book helped me learn how to read. It's great for children as they love it and will constantly read it. The characters are interesting and the large font makes it simple for the kids to read... And is easy on grandmas eyes too :) I’d rate this work 10/10 it’s amazing… Highly recommended!

Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh - can't believe I've fallen into the same trap as others in purchasing such a terrible sized book. We had this story out from the library and LOVED it. So was thrilled to think we were getting our own copy. I was extremely disappointed when it arrived in the post and was a miniture size - hard to read, can't feel the raised thread of the spiderweb. Come on Fishpond - you are upsetting many of your customers by not making it clear that these are miniture sized books. What are you going to do about it???
