  The Book of Five Rings is a text on Kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: For instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. 
  Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle.

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.

  This audiobook features two songs: ‘Dreams’ and ‘Honey Bee Cakes’. These further immerse children in the story.  ‘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” 
  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. These include a honeybee cake recipe and instructions to make a bee hotel.
