Spid the Spider Has a Day Off Summary

Spid the Spider Has a Day Off: 2021 by John Eaton

This is Spid's first adventure. Spid doesn't know how to spend his day off - until, after a big breakfast, he has an idea. It's perfect. At least it should have been. But as so often happens for Spid, things don't go quite as he planned... Features 2 songs: 'We're Having Fun' and 'Wibble Wobble'. The songs have an accompanying QR code to take the reader to a musical version of the song. 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 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 multiple times.

Spid the Spider Has a Day Off Reviews

Funny story of what can go wrong when you don't plan your day off. Brilliantly written and great fun, great illustrations as well. Spid is off to a good start (5/5 star review by Elizabeth Porter)

About John Eaton

John lives and works in Taunton, England. As a lyricist and storyteller, he has written over two dozen Spid stories and over a hundred songs. John started writing to keep in touch, and build relationships with his granddaughter, Evaleigh. He is passionate about encouraging literacy, and love of the English language. Some of the themes in Spid's books mirror John's own life. When he left school, he did not know what, if anything, he would be good at. Being one of eight children and growing up on a council estate he did not aspire to higher purpose. Though through working in healthcare, qualifying as a healthcare professional and travelling the world, he has established a successful healthcare business, and in so doing, amassed lots of humorous anecdotes on life.
