Harry the Poisonous Centipede🌿
By Lynda Rutledge, illustrated by Peter Barrett
Harry is a poisonous centipede, but don't let that fool you, he's not very brave at all. Still, he's the hero of this seriously squirmy story, and what a tale it is.
Harry likes things that wriggle and crackle, things that are juicy and munchy. But there are rules in the world of a centipede: never eat a flying swooper, never eat a belly wriggler, never eat a furry biter. And most importantly, never, ever eat a Hoo-Min.🐛
Winner of the Smarties Silver medal and a best-seller for good reason, this is the kind of book that makes children giggle at every turn. Told entirely from Harry's perspective, where humans are the scary ones and a garden is a whole universe, it's clever, funny, and genuinely entertaining.
Perfect for readers aged 5–8 who love a bit of gentle chaos and aren't afraid of a creepy-crawly hero.
