About this title

Review:

Praise for Harry the Poisonous Centipede "A real ground level story that rockets along on hundreds of legs!Bug fans will love this." Kidstuff School Books RTE Guide

From the Back Cover:

'It's a Hoo-Min!' crackled George. 'Walking on its hairy-biter!'
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 adventure up to the world of Hoo-Mins sparkles with fun and will be a delightfully squirmy experience for all young readers.
