Customer Reviews

Living with a spider

Another cute book for the younger children. Children love books in which insects are given human likenesses. In a childs mind this book could very well be true. Foursom is like any child of a young age.

Learning friendship and acceptance

This book had my two children (ages 6 and 8) bouncing up and down and giggling as I read it to them. They loved the story of Foursome's golfing adventures and crowded to see the colorful artwork, especially the spider's whimsical argyle pattern! After the book was over, we had a good discussion on getting along with people, making new friends, and trying new things.

A GREAT BOOK FOR KIDS & A GOOD REMINDER FOR ADULTS TOO!

Foursome the Spider shows Children & Adults in Colorful & Creative Simplicity that "We all benefit by getting along together" (a knowledgeable trait we adults like to teach our children but not always follow). Also highlighted in this book is a non-violent sport that is challenging as well as rewarding. For no matter how bad your game or day is, the game of golf is played in a relaxing, picturesque & tranquil environment.Hopefully one day my children will generate interest in the game of golf from this book and who knows, maybe become the next Tiger Woods?
