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 https://spidthespider.com/fun-childrens-activities/. These will include a honey cake recipe!
