Reseñas de la Crítica

"What a clever spider! If only we had a guitarist like Conrad in the band! Robin and the Pink Chicken band A beautifully illustrated book telling a familiar-to-us story of the power music has to bring people together. Particularly so given the situation so many artists face during the pandemic; the lows one feels when you are not able to be creative, to share your music with others or, indeed, to perform. We can’t wait to join Conrad and play our music soon! Thank you for telling this story so beautifully and for sharing it." (London Graffiti Band)

"The collaboration of Smith’s slightly surreal 3D effects works well with Arbuthnott’s quirky, off-beat tale about a rock-star spider that creates a unique guitar by using six of his eight legs for strings. When an opportunistic theft brings Conrad’s world crashing down, a touching story ensues, weaving in subjects including homelessness, friendship, and redemption. This is a thoughtful, timely and sensitive book that will fire up and stimulate young imaginations." (Charles Donovan, Evening Standard and Sunday Times)
