The Lovereading comment:

Two stories in one! - Follow the Swallow and Spinderella - in this great bind-up of two titles, perfect for children bridging the gap between picture books and chapter books.  It's part of Egmont's highly sought after and hugely respected Blue Bananas series.  Plenty of colour illustrations on every spread and integrated with the text.
