Spidling Productions Limited Spid the Spider Plans a Birthday Surprise: 2023
Book SynopsisIt's almost Bid's birthday and Spid is worried. He wants it to be Bid's best birthday ever because she is his most favourite spidling in the whole wide world. But there's a problem. No matter how hard he thinks, he doesn't have a single birthday-present idea anywhere in his worried head. The book features 2 songs: 'Birthday Girl' and 'It's My Birthday'. The songs have accompanying QR codes to take readers to musical versions of the songs. You can also find 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 also 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.Trade Review"We had a blast reading this. I love the QR codes that link to Spid's songs. The kids immediately had a dance party! I especially love the message about stealing, how it effects others, and forgiving those who try to make things right. We had a discussion about that after which was really great." Kris Plazier, Primary School Teacher and Blogger, The Children's Bookshelf (www.cbookshelf.com); "This book is full of colour, beautiful illustrations and runs to a generous 60+ pages. The story has lots of exciting events and involves problem solving, friendship and unique characters that your little ones will find hilarious" Jess Croft, The Secret World of Books

i2i Publishing I'm Not a Wasp!
Book SynopsisHoverflies are a somewhat misunderstood creature in British gardens – although they are essential pollinators for our plants and totally harmless to humans, they are often mistaken for wasps and avoided as a result. But whilst their similarity to their stinging lookalikes can cause panic amongst humans, it’s also a deliberate defence mechanism that helps to protect them from predators. This story aims to educate children about these important insects, whilst also demonstrating that you can’t always judge a book by its cover.

Andersen Press Ltd Take Away the A
Book SynopsisA word totally transforms if you take away just one letter – without the A, the beast is best. Without the W, the witch has an itch! This is an alphabet book like no other.

Packed with humour and wordplay, the author and illustrator effortlessly play off each other to enhance humour and meaning. Children will not be able to resist inventing imaginative examples of their own.Trade Review"All alphabet books require mastery of the letters in order to read them, but this one manages that paradox with genius." * The New York Times Book Review *"Beyond the inherent fun of the concept (which has plenty of potential for classroom activities), every scene tells a story – it's practically 26 books in one." * STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly *"Amid the flood of alphabet books, now and then one rises to the surface. This one is a prize catch." * STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews *"A playful celebration of language not as a dry, mathematical exercise in letter-organisation but as a living organism, in which letters make meaning through a vast mesh of metaphorical associations driven by the imagination – the very faculty that is the hallmark of children's minds." -- Maria Popova * Brain Pickings *"A silly but smart introduction to wordplay" * Irish Times *

Book SynopsisCook pancakes from scratch inside this interactive recipe bookTrade Review'Stylish ... With its simple graphic illustrations that resemble paintings by Frank Stella ... The book itself is a perfect square (think Josef Albers), fun and colorful. The most satisfying part is when you get to pop the little cardboard pancake out of the page, turn it, and press it into the next page to complete the illustration of a short stack of pancakes." – New York Times Book Review 'This cleverly designed first book in the Cook in a Book series lets children help make pancakes, but there's no need to break out the aprons: all the cooking is accomplished by pulling tabs ...
