  Spid, Bid and Herman have been away on holiday. But when they get home again, they discover something rather sinister – they seem to have brought back more than just their luggage.This audiobook features two songs: 'I love to wash my hands' and 'Celebrate'. You can also find three more songs linked to the book and 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.

  Hollywood’s 10 Greatest Actors

  Editors Charles River

  In 1999, the American Film Institute released its list of the 50 greatest Hollywood stars of the 20th century, and selecting the 10 best actors out of the bunch was certainly a tall task. The competition was so stacked that men like Gary Cooper and John Wayne were not even among the Top 10. So who were the Top 10 men selected by the AFI? 
  One man has long been considered the greatest male star. From the time he first became a leading man, Humphrey Bogart’s screen image has resonated with viewers more than perhaps any other actor. His persona as a tough guy who manages to maintain his sense of virtue no matter how compromising the situation features in some of the most famous films ever made. 
  Movie stars are revered for their ability to captivate audiences, and perhaps no actor has done it as well as Cary Grant, the epitome of the suave, debonair actor who may have been rivaled only by dancer extraordinaire Fred Astaire.  
  If the list was reconstructed today, it is entirely possible that Jimmy Stewart would rank first. Not only have movies such as It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) and Vertigo (1958) continued to gain in popularity even into the 21st century, but Stewart has come to embody an accessible image of American values that is easy for everyone to embrace. 
  Over the course of his long, prolific career, Marlon Brando was considered perhaps the greatest actor of the 20th century as well as one of the most complicated and misunderstood. Uniquely able to be both emotionally charged and technically constrained in the same performance, he single-handedly changed the direction of acting, 
  Best known for his role in Gone with the Wind (1939), Clark Gable had a unique appeal that captivated Depression-era audiences, while portraying tough guys and gangsters in the 1930s that turned James Cagney into a massive Hollywood star.

  This book bundle offers a rich and immersive exploration of the histories, encounters, and enduring legacies that have shaped Australia and New Zealand. This three-part volume captures the essence of these lands through the lens of historical events, cultural clashes, and the resilience of Indigenous peoples.  
  The first section, The Story of Australia, traces the country's journey from its ancient Indigenous roots to the arrival of European settlers, the establishment of colonies, and its eventual rise as a modern nation — all while examining the profound and ongoing impact on Aboriginal communities.  
  The second section, Māori and Pākehā: A History of Encounters, delves into the complex relationship between the Māori, the Indigenous people of New Zealand, and the Pākehā (European settlers), exploring the cultural exchanges, conflicts, and efforts to coexist in a shared land.  
  The third section, The History of New Zealand, provides a broader perspective on the development of the nation, from its Polynesian discovery to British colonization, the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, and the ongoing struggle for Māori rights and cultural preservation.  
  Together, these three narratives weave a powerful and captivating story of the land, its people, and the historical forces that have shaped Australia, New Zealand, and the Māori. This book is essential for readers seeking a deeper understanding of the complex histories and cultural legacies that continue to define these two nations today.
