  • The turtle and the spider story is so perfect that you can't just read it once. My kids want it on repeat. A fantastic story of new friendships and adventure. So glad I bought this book.

  • What a beautiful read. The story and illustrations alongside read rhythmically. The author Shelly Mac has really engaged with the importance of friendships in her story. Our children (all 5) were completely engrossed. This is the second of Shelly’s books we have purchased and both have been a pure joy to read. Come on Shelly, we are ready for the next title. I could not recommend this book more.

  • "The Turtle and the Spider" by Shelly Mack is a heartwarming tale about a lonely turtle who finds herself a new friend and sets off on a delicious adventure! She's a timid turtle who finds enough courage to explore life with spider but realises soon enough that she should probably have not strayed so far from her mummy. Nonetheless a lifelong friendship is formed! As a mum to three special needs children, a story highlighting the fact that friendship can be found in the most unlikely of places and unfamiliar faces is a welcome message. An excellent story with beautiful illustrations that had my little trio chuckling all the way through! Thank you so much @shellymackbooks - we love it!!!
