Practical tips

Make the buttons part of the reading routine: invite your child to press them as you turn through the book, and give them time to explore the textured web. You can also pause to notice and compare details together, connecting the publisher-described matching and comparing practice with the shared activity of reading. This makes the book suited to a lap-reading session or a short, hands-on story break with a preschooler.

Its board-book format and interactive features bring a different kind of participation to storytime than a book focused only on looking at pictures and listening. Choose it when you want familiar Spidey characters alongside button-pressing and tactile exploration. The experience can be shared, with an adult guiding the reading while the child joins in with the sound buttons and texture.

How to use it

Read the story together and let your child press the Play-a-Sound buttons during the session. Encourage them to feel the raised, textured Spidey web and look for details to match or compare as you read. These simple prompts give young readers a chance to use their hands and attention as part of the activity, rather than making storytime only a listening experience. The book is intended for ages three to six and listed for preschool and up, so it fits naturally into reading time with young children.

Should you buy it?

Choose Spidey to the Rescue if you want a character-led book that adds sound and touch to shared reading. Its six buttons, tactile web and opportunities to practise matching and comparing make it especially suited to preschool storytime with a child who enjoys joining in. For families looking to make a Spidey book more hands-on, the mix of reading, button pressing and tactile play gives children several ways to participate in the same session.
