Review
"Stanley always has an excuse when it comes to bathtime, so his family don't take him too seriously when he says there's a spider in the bath. So first his sister goes to look... then his mother... and finally his father, who gets a gigantic pop-up surprise! Perhaps bathtime had better be postponed... Perhaps, like Stanley, your child could draw some ideas to help the spider climb out of the bath? The repetitive vocabulary will help children become familiar with the words and they will read along with you and learn to recognise the words. Another lovely storybook from Red Robin Books"
