It's almost Bid's birthday and Spid is worried. He wants it to be Bid's best birthday ever because she is his most favourite spidling in the whole wide world. But there's a problem. No matter how hard he thinks, he doesn't have a single birthday-present idea anywhere in his worried head. The book features 2 songs: 'Birthday Girl' and 'It's My Birthday'. 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 also works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
