We get a lot of press releases each week. We don’t have time to check them all out, but we’ll pass along the fun-looking ones to our readers. Here’s a selection of the books and games that we saw this week:

spid the spider

Spid the Spider: Enchanting Books Crawl Under Spotlight, Empowering Fathers to Embrace Reading to their Children. Written by John Eaton, the eighteen volumes in the Spid the Spider series shrink young children down to the size of an insect, as they explore with Spid, their new eight-legged friend. Spid lives in a house at the top of the hill; a hardworking arachnid who also enjoys relaxing at his favourite restaurant – Weatherspids! In the newest book, Spid the Spider: Is visiting the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Spid’s escapades get truly global.
