Harry the Poisonous Centipede - Lynne Reid Banks ... the Poisonous Centipede in a scary world of flying swoopers, furry biters and the dreaded Hoo-Mins! With wonderful humour and brilliant illustrations, this is the perfect book for wriggly young readers. "It's a Hoo-Min!" crackled George. "Walking on its hairy-biter feet!" But now it was Harry who felt brave. "Come on! Let's peep at it!" They crawled the rest of the way up the tunnel towards the light. Harry is a poisonous centipede but he's not very brave. Still, he is the star of this seriously squirmy story. Harry likes to eat things that wriggle and crackle, and things that are juicy and munchy! But there are some things that a poisonous centipede must never try to eat - dangerous things like flying swoopers, belly wrigglers, furry biters and the most dangerous of all! Hoo-Mins! Harry and George's adventures up to the world of Hoo-Mins sparkle with fun and will be a delightfully squirmy experience for all young readers.

Harry learns that some creatures are too dangerous to try and eat like flying swoopers and furry biters. The most dangerous creatur...more

Rating:

I am always on the lookout for books to read my 5 year old at bedtime. So when I was in my local library recently and spotted a children's book with a large, comical looking centipede on the front cover, my interest was captured. I knew I was onto a winner when I saw that the author was a favourite of ours, Lynne Reid Banks. Harry the poisonous centipede is the story of Harry, a young centipede who lives with his siblings and mother. To quote from the opening page- you may think that a centipede is not a very nice thing to be, but Harry thought it was fine. He'd never been anything else. Harry and his family communicate in centipedish . As there are no vowels ...  Read the complete review
