Johnny by Guido van Genechten
3.0

Got I for preview by Netgalley!
(I sometimes forget to mention, not that it change anything in my appreciation but still).
3,5/5.
A book for young kids about a ugly spider that scare everyboy but that is, in fact, gentle and just want to share with friend. So it's a book about acceptation, difference, rejection, etc. Cute and a good idea, but I'm not entirely sure that the message will pass through the book to the kids minds. The moral is just switfly mention in the last page so I dout the kid will remember it forever. Still, good intention, the illustrations are very well done, I loved the style and the story is an average but descent one!
