Everyone knows that Stink is bonkers about most scientific things. But theres one exception: dangle a spider in front of him and he goes berserk! Stink is so freaked out by spiders that he cant read about them. He cant look at them. He cant think about them. But when a hairy backyard emergency arises, Stink is forced to face his fear and eight beady eyes head-on.
Newcomers will be able to slide in with ease; theres no extensive backstory here to wade throughjust some quirky kids dealing with a common fear. The reading level is pitched to those just beginning to dip their toes in the chapter-book pool...More of the same, but here thats a good thing. * Kirkus Reviews *
The accessible text is perfect for young readers and uses frequently repeated words and phrases. Short chapters delineate the story and provide an opportunity for Reynolds to showcase his marvelous and goofy illustrations. Hand this to fans of the Stink series or any spider-loving early reader. * School Library Journal *
