Spid is horrified to find litter has been thrown into his garden. But he soon realises that littering and rubbish aren't just a problem for him - they're a problem for the whole planet. So Spid decides to do something about it, but he needs an idea. A really good idea. And he needs one now ... This story includes 2 songs; 'Plan-it Earth' and 'Bag It, Bin It'. QR codes take readers to musical versions of the songs. Includes 'litter cycle' wallchart further helping children understand the effects of litter and pollution on the planet and that they can do something about it too. 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 works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories time and time again.
