Spid the Spider Goes on Holiday

John Eaton

Hooray, it’s August! Spid boards the train to Spidlins holiday camp at Spidwell-by-the-Sea for a summer holiday he’ll never forget. Which is exactly what he gets – but not for the reasons he might think … as ever he faces lots of setbacks but wins through in the end.This audiobook features two songs: 'Surfin' Spidwell Bay' and 'Holiday'. Surfin’ Spidwell Bay pays homage to holidays at Spidwell Bay. It combines The Beach Boys’ surf vibe with Bill Haley’s ‘Shake, rattle and roll’. In Holiday, Spid sings about his holiday experiences. You can only hope they are not yours! You can also watch music videos of Spid's songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider/.Spid is a lowly spider, who writes songs, wants to better himself, 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 listen to with, their children. The humour also works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy listening to the stories multiple times. The books are accompanied by lots of free parent and teacher materials to help children read, write, grow and succeed in life. Find them at https://spidthespider.com/fun-childrens-activities/.

Young Blackbeard the Pirate -...

Christopher Allen

YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE
PORT OF BRISTOL 1690
Book 4 of 6 – The mutiny of the missing shortbread
Here is the summary description of this book:
When Anne Bonny's prized shortbread vanishes from The Salty Pickle, young Edward Teach (future Blackbeard) declares it an act of mutiny. The crew searches their Bristol docked ship for crumbs, suspecting rival pirates—until Israel spots seagulls feasting in nearby bushes. The audacious birds, led by a scream-mimicking alpha gull, had staged an elaborate heist: one distracted Anne with her own signature shriek while others carried off the treats. A chaotic harbor chase ensues, with Benjamin's slingshot recovering scraps of the stolen shortbread. Though outsmarted, Edward admires the gulls' piratical cunning and proposes an alliance—Anne will bake extra batches in exchange for avian lookouts. The tale blends humor with authentic 1690s Bristol harbor life, showing Edward's early leadership and flair for turning foes into assets—a skill that would later define history's most notorious pirate.
This is the fourth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this instalment, and it's only $3.
the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.
The story itself runs to about 16 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

The Millicent Quibb School of...

Kate McKinnon

From beloved Saturday Night Live alum Kate McKinnon comes a madcap new adventure about three sisters, a ravenous worm, and a mysterious mad scientist. So, you want to be a young mad scientist. Congratulations! Admitting it is the first step. The second step is reading the (definitely true) tale of the Porch sisters… Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch do not belong. They don’t belong in the snooty town of Antiquarium, where all girls have to go to etiquette school and the only dog allowed is the bichon frise. They don’t belong with their adoptive family, where all their cousins are named Lavinia and their Aunt has more brooches than books. And they certainly don’t belong at Mrs. Wintermacher’s etiquette school—they’re far more interested in science. After getting kicked out of the last etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent away for good... until they receive a mysterious invitation to new school. Suddenly the girls are under the tutelage of the infamous Millicent Quibb—a mad scientist with worms in her hair and oysters in her bathtub. At 231 Mysterium Way, the pizza is fatal, the bus is powered by Gerbils, and the Dean of Students is a hermit crab. Dangerous? Yes! More fun than they’ve ever had? Absolutely! But when the sisters are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of nefarious mad scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand out, and determine what side they’re on—before it’s too late!
