Description
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No way, it's a couple of koalas in capes returning for more superhero antics!
The dream creative team of author Terrie Chilvers and illustrator David O’Connell are back with the next instalment of this superpowered series. Koalas in Capes: The Robot Spiders is the second mission for our hapless, but enthusiastic koala duo who just want some time off from superhero duties to enjoy Pawtonia's music festival… but not if Dr Colossus and his cluster of robot spiders have anything to do with it!
This fast-paced chapter book series with comic-book illustrations is the perfect step for 7+ readers between chapter books and graphic novels.

What a pleasure this was to read - perfect for a 7 plus reader who likes funny books. The animals are excellently drawn and full of character, and the situation of superhero koalas versus an evil ostrich is handled really well. The humour is pitch perfect as a combination of word play and absurdity that will amuse an adult sharing the story, but give a child a giggle too.
The plot is clear, linear and easy to understand and the text on the page is nicely broken up with different fonts for exclamations or actions, with many illustrations.
A great chapter book to hold the interest of a distractible reader.
