Spid the Spider Gets Spooked at Halloween

Spid the Spider Gets Spooked at Halloween is a humorous, reassuring story that helps children manage fear, build confidence and discover that courage grows when we face what frightens us. It is also a great Halloween gift or trick or treat.

Spid is ready for a cosy Halloween night.

A crackling fire.
A spooky library book.
Pumpkins glowing in the dark.

But what begins as a quiet evening soon turns into something far more mysterious…

Strange shadows.
Unexpected noises.
And pumpkins that are not quite what they seem.

As Spid’s imagination runs wild, he must decide whether to hide away — or be brave and investigate.
