Spid settles down on Halloween night to read the halloweeniest book he could find at the mobile library. But what should have been a cosy evening by the fire turns into something rather more spooky ... and the pumpkins are not what they seem ... This audiobook features 2 songs: Wookey Wooh! and The Gang. 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 listen to with, and read to 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 listening to and reading the stories time and time again.
