Spid The Spider Helps Out At Spidmas Av John Eaton

It's Spidmas (Christmas) in Spider Webdon. But this year, it's no ordinary Spidmas. As Spid wraps presents and gets ready to welcome his friends, little does he know this will be a Spidmas he will never forget.The book also features two songs: 'Spidmas Day' and 'A Faraway Spidmas Wish'. The songs have accompanying QR codes to take readers 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.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.
