With glorious full-colour illustrations from Sebastien Braun, this is a joyful, funny story that sneaks in early counting and halving skills, making it perfect for children starting school or nursery.. About the Book. Spinderella the spider has a passion for football. She desperately wants to join in a match with her brothers and sisters, but there's a problem: she doesn't know how many spiders should be on each team, and worse still, she can't keep track of the goals being scored. Luckily, her Hairy Godmother has a magical solution up her sleeve, transforming this football-mad tale into a playful lesson in counting and sharing numbers equally. Julia Donaldson's trademark rhythmic, rhyming text makes the story a joy to read aloud, while Sebastien Braun's warm, expressive illustrations bring Spinderella and her spider family vividly to life on every page. Originally published in 2002 and refreshed with a sparkling foiled cover, Spinderella has become a much-loved bestseller, ideal for bedtime reading, classroom storytime, or as an introduction to early numeracy for young children. Whether your child is a budding football fan or simply loves a funny animal story, this book offers laughs, warmth, and gentle learning in equal measure. It's an especially popular choice for children starting school, as the counting and halving themes tie in naturally with early maths.. Written by Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom. Fun, rhyming text that's brilliant for reading aloud. Introduces early counting and halving in a playful way. Charm
