  A second title about this lovable character who never quite manages to keep up with his classmates. Schools stories with the essential feel-good factor. Spider is always saying and doing the wrong thing: he forgets the punchlines to his own jokes; he daydreams in class; he always has odd socks on; and he even gets into a muddle over his party invitations. He may be a hopeless case, but is the most lovable of children and usually turns out to be the hero. Three stories in one book: in the first, Spider's class visits a doughnut factory but instead of a doughnut, Spider decides to make a doughnut man. In the second story, Spider's class as doing a project on the USA. Everyone is supposed to come to schools dressed as a cowboy, but Spider decides to be Geronimo. In the third story, it's Spider's birthday and he makes and gives out invitations - but for the wrong day!
