They may looks like tiny cute pink spring rolls, but soon the septuplets are wailing all night, trashing the house and playing trampoline on Olga‿s face first thing in the morning. Can Olga and MEH keep the brood fed? Who will clean up all that rainbow poo? And is it even possible to be a GENIUS scientist and Nanny to seven crazy babies?

Part of a series of hilarious non-fiction about disgusting creatures, this book looks at the spider.

Although silly and off-the-wall, The Spider contains real information that will both amuse and teach.

But the vet is a silly human, and Olga does NOT trust humans. Can she solve Meh¿s mystery illness herself? Girl power, wacky jokes, kooky science facts and an adorable furry pink alien blob ¿ resist if you can!
