'This is such a delightful book which cleverly relays important messages in a subtle way [...] The illustrations style is brilliant and adds so much humour to the story. A lovely story of friendship and not making immediate judgements.' Booksb4bedtime
'This picture book had us giggling throughout [...] Shuttlewood's illustrations are filled with colour and hidden detail (can you find the cat on the spreads above and below? It features a few times!) I loved Slug's expressions, as well as Spider's repeated looks of horror at Slug's attempts to impress.' Heather Fishwick
'We love the illustrations, especially slug's lovey dovey puppy dog eyes - he's so cute!' -- Play with Nina
