Description - Spid the Spider Helps Bid Open a Bakery by John Eaton
This fifteenth Spid the Spider adventure
will inspire children, especially budding bakers and entrepreneurs everywhere. In the story, Bid dreams of setting up her own artisan bakery though she faces numerous set-backs in
turning her dream into reality. With grit, determination,
and Spid's help, she learns from the setbacks and finds a way to
succeed. It's a fun-filled story that also
educates by encouraging a 'growth mindset'.
Baking is increasingly seen as a fun, creative
activity that families and children can do together. This sense of involvement
and creativity aligns perfectly in this latest Spid the Spider adventure.
The story also aligns with the global phenomena
and cultural touchstones of The Great British Bake Off (GBBO) and The
Apprentice.
Two songs also feature in the book; 'Dreams' and
'Honey Bee Cakes'. These further immerse children in the story. By scanning QR codes, readers can see
and hear animated music videos of the songs.
- 'Dreams' is a motivational song with a
'growth-mindset' message; "Don't get down, you can turn it around, your
plans are sound, and you can rebound".
- 'Honeybee Cakes' has a
sunny-feel-good-calypso-Caribbean vibe, with fabulous rising harmonies. "Honey
bee, honey bee, honey bee cakes"
The book is great fun for mums, dads, and
teachers to read and 'act' out to their children, helping them engage with the
story, the benefits of reading, and helping them learn to read, grow, and succeed.
The colourful visuals by Julia Vasina and
music video animations produced by Michael Smetham, Clockwork Pencil
Productions further add to the humour and engagement.
Spid is a role model for children. He's a hard-working,
cool, and funny spider, who makes mistakes, but learns from them. He helps
children embrace what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' - a determination
to better oneself and succeed.
All books are supported by free parent and teacher
resources to entertain and inspire children, helping them learn to read, grow
and succeed in life
These will include a honey cake recipe!
