    The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers. This canine-indexed definition of consent includes a model of five major categories: Touch/interaction-based consent, cooperative care using learned consent behaviors, activity consent, consent-based learning, and substitutive consent. These categories involve a two-way communication system, integration of salient choices, teaching consent behaviors and incorporating existing training protocols that adhere to the Humane Hierarchy of best practices, and an evaluation of dependent decision-making in extenuating circumstances. This book aims to merge the existing literature and new understandings about canine consent to paint a complete picture. It will challenge the current expectations of dogs and dog behavior in our society with an intention of considering their perspectives, experiences, and emotional needs.

    Spid the Spider has often dreamed of owning a smart, shiny, loud Darley Havidson motorbike. But what Spid wants isn’t always what’s best for him – especially when it leads to him making big 
    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. 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 '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.

    Floriography, commonly referred to as the "language of flowers," is 
    the art of assigning various flowers, plants, and herbs symbolic 
    meanings. This practice dates back to ancient time when messages 
    and emotions were expressed through flowers. In the Victorian era, 
    floriography gained popularity as a means of communicating 
    emotions that were too private to express verbally, particularly for 
    courtship and romantic purposes.
