Hunter the Huntsman is a fun-tale about Hunter, a feisty ‘kid spider’ who, ‘sort of listens, but not really.’ The energetic plot reflects curious ‘kid thinking’ – wanting to do something out of bounds. An unexpected mishap opens the door to our brave character’s wish. Suddenly tossed into an unfamiliar adventure, our lovable little guy must stay calm and resilient. A gold thread weaves anxiety and overcoming into the story and fun, furtive spider facts are spun into the journey.

Hunter the Huntsman is a delightful children’s book! Actually, I found it wonderfully engaging and literally had to read it all, as I was so curious as to what would happen to Hunter! I loved Hunter’s first adventure and am looking forward to reading about his further adventures. The writing style is engaging, the illustrations quite beautiful and they add to the story. What I particularly like, is the odd ‘big’ word thrown into the mix. It’s a story that captures the attention, has great vocabulary and is an absolute delight to read. I definitely recommend this book by Kerryn Lloyd.

I loved this book. Hunter the Huntsman is a perfect read for anyone who has ever been surprised by a sudden confrontation with a huntsman spider!
The clever little guy wins our hearts and leaves us looking at our natural world differently.
Great for learning and reading aloud.
