Spid the Spider Welcomes In the New Year Downloadable audio file

It's New Year's Eve and the last thing Spid wants to do is celebrate.

Now Spidmas is over, he feels unloved and unappreciated.

But just as Spid is thinking he'll never make anything of himself, Bid comes up with an idea that changes everything.

This audiobook features 2 songs: 'Sheen Neean Kwai Luh' (Xin Nian Kuai Le) and 'New Year Ensemble (Party/Dance Version)'.

Music videos of the songs will also be available on YouTube. 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.
