Synopsis
Spid the Spider Has a Day Off is a warm, funny children’s story about thinking ahead, making good choices and discovering that a little planning can make a big difference.
Spid has a whole day off.
No responsibilities. No jobs to do. Just endless possibilities.
After enjoying a big breakfast, he comes up with what seems like the perfect plan to make the most of his day.
Simple. Quick. Easy. What could possibly go wrong?
As so often happens for Spid, things don’t go quite as expected. Shortcuts turn into setbacks, and clever ideas aren’t always as clever as they seem. This story is perfect to help children think ahead and plan.
