Spid the Spider Plans a Birthday Surprise is a joyful and reassuring children’s adventure about thoughtfulness, creativity and the true meaning of friendship. This is a perfect birthday gift book.
It’s almost Bid’s birthday — and Spid is determined to make it the best birthday ever.
There’s just one problem.
He doesn’t have a single present idea.
Not one.
As the big day approaches, Spid worries that he’ll disappoint his favourite spidling in the whole wide world. But sometimes the best gifts aren’t the ones you buy — they’re the ones that come from the heart.
Can Spid find the perfect way to show how much he cares?
