In this story, Spid is horrified to find litter has been thrown into his garden. But he soon realises that littering and rubbish aren't just a problem for him – they're a problem for the whole planet. So he decides to do something about it. But he needs an idea. A really good idea. And he needs one now … As ever, Spid faces and overcomes a number of setbacks but wins though in the end!
This audiobook includes two songs: 'Plan-it Earth' and 'Bag it, Bin It'. 'Plan-it Earth'. ?'Plan-it Earth' starts with a superb guitar instrumental. It is a thoughtful and melancholy song, with a rallying chorus to save the planet "You Can Help Us Out, Be a Planet Scout." 'Bag It, Bin It' is an electro synth(esiser), anti-litter campaign song. It extols the virtues of recycling with a catchy chorus; "Bag it, bin it, put your rubbish in it. It's not trash, it's trade cash."
The book is supported by teaching resources, including a 'litter cycle' poster to help children understand the effects of litter on out planet, and empower them to help preserve our environment. This can be found at https://spidthespider.com/parent-teacher-resources.
