Sinossi

The Gwent Levels line the north shore of the Severn Estuary in South Wales: Chepstow at their head; their more famous cousin, the Somerset Levels, across the water; the Welsh capital, Cardiff at their feet. You could waste an hour crossing the Levels by motorway. Or brush aside the journey by train. But writer Marsha O'Mahony has chosen the slow route of foreshore, footpath, and country lane. Over the course of two years, she meandered from village to village collecting conversations and anecdotes as she went. The result is a remarkable oral and social history of this unique landscape and the people who live there.

    The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, is a continuous and dynamic process that moves water throughout the Earth's atmosphere, surface, and underground reservoirs. This cycle plays a vital role in sustaining ecosystems, regulating climate, and supporting human life. Water undergoes various transformations as it moves through different stages, driven by the energy of the sun and the force of gravity. 
    One of the fundamental processes of the water cycle is evaporation, where water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and even soil turns into water vapor due to heat from the sun. Plants also contribute to this process through transpiration, where they release moisture from their leaves into the air. Together, these processes add significant amounts of water vapor to the atmosphere. As the air rises and cools, this vapor undergoes condensation, forming clouds composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. 
    When these droplets combine and become heavy enough, precipitation occurs in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Precipitation is the primary way water returns to the Earth's surface, replenishing water bodies and providing essential moisture for plant and animal life. Depending on the terrain and environmental conditions, this water can take several different paths. Some of it infiltrates into the ground, recharging underground aquifers in a process known as groundwater recharge. Other portions of the water flow overland as surface runoff, eventually collecting in rivers, lakes, and oceans. This runoff helps shape landscapes by eroding and transporting sediments over time.

    decisions too quickly. After all, if something seems too good to be true, could that be because it is? With plenty of surprises under the saddle, Spid finds himself zooming into a hilarious misadventure full of U-turns, bumps, and life lessons.  
    This sixteenth Spid the Spider adventure is a fun and funny story with gentle lessons in financial literacy, decision-making, and resilience—ideal for home or classroom reading. 
    With catchy songs, clever wordplay, and a heartwarming message about money, mistakes, and making the best of things, Spid the Spider Is Easy Spider is perfect for 5–10s—and anyone who’s ever wanted something just a little too much. 
    Spid is a role model for children. He’s a hard-working, cool, and funny spider, who makes mistakes, but learns from them.

All books are supported by free parent and teacher resources to entertain and inspire children, helping them learn. These include a 'decision making flowchart.  
    Two songs also feature in the book; ‘Easy Spider’ and ‘Motorcycle Melancholy’.   ‘Easy Spider’ is a rock ‘n’ roll banger, with a catchy electric guitar riff. It echoes the freedom of driving on 
    open roads “I’m a real cool rider, I’m an Easy Spider”. ‘Motorcycle Melancholy’ is a song about lost love, love lost though the high cost of maintaining Spid’s bike, and his mistakes in cutting corners. It has a mesmerising accordion section.
