With imaginative wordplay, Spid the Spider‘s children’s books enable you to invest lots of dramatic licence when reading to, and with, your children. As a result, they are fun bedtime or daytime reading. They help you engage your children, as well as help them learn to read. With humour ranging from slapstick to more sophisticated, they are also fun to read and time and time again. All stories contain themes and teach valuable life lessons such as the importance of determination, and also the ability to better oneself. As a result, Spid’s stories empower them with what psychologists call a ‘growth mindset’. They also help them grow and succeed in life.
The books are for children 4-10 years old. Those at the younger end learn from listening to you read, and those 6+ years and above learn to read themselves. Choose to read the paperback or EPUB formats or to stream and listen to the audiobooks. So you can read or listen at home or on the go whenever your wish!
Thus they further engage children, enabling them to sing and dance along. To hear Spid’s songs just scan the QR codes in the paperbacks with your smartphone or click the link in the eBooks. The songs also feature in the audiobooks narrated by Angus Scott. Find them at good audiobook stores such as Amazon Audible as well as Spid’s book and music store.
