Spid, Bid and Herman have been away on holiday. But when they get home again, they discover something rather spidister - they seem to have brought back more than just their luggage ... Features three songs; I Love to Wash My Hands, Celebrate and Thank Spid It's All Over. The songs have accompanying QR codes to take the reader to musical versions of the songs. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider, together with two additional songs that expand the story: Covid Pandemic Blues and Vaccine Nation. All are anthems of our times. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories time and time again.
