5.0 out of 5 stars All round brilliant! Engaging, original and very clever.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 19, 2022
Everything about this gorgeous book is stunning, from the original design concept to the storytelling to the underlying moral. My two grandsons (4 and 5) were completely captivated by it.

The story is simple. A colorful marble falls to the ground, eliciting huge excitement and speculation amongst the tiny creatures who live there. What is it? Where did it come from? As they all try to lay claim to this rare treasure, spider comes along and takes it for his own, seeing an opportunity to capitalize on the situation. However, when his initially successful venture backfires, spider is left with nothing and nobody, and it’s only when he acknowledges his mistakes and tries to make amends that the story reaches a happy conclusion for all.

The story is wonderful, but what really makes this book stand out are the illustrations, which combine grey scale with splashes of color to highlight the subliminal message of the importance of sharing and working together.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough, and I shall be looking out for more from the talented Fan Brothers.

Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful. Check out my Amazon profile page for more reviews of children’s books and puzzles and educational toys and games.
