An Interview with Harry the Tarantula

[[ASIN:0792251229 An Interview with Harry the Tarantula] Very enjoyable story for those kids who are fascinated with bugs and spiders. My daughter really enjoys reading this and I love the humor.

This book was great. It is an interview on KBUG Radio by Katy Did of Harry Spyder. A National Geographic book it delivers facts in a fun way. The pictures are a little wild but my 8 year old really liked this book. Would be great for a unit on spiders too. Recommended for grades Kindergarten-3rd.

Through interview format this book presents great insight into the life of tarantula. This book provides children with a delightful journey through some nonfiction; this is something children need more of. With all the nonfiction reading children have to do in upper grades, I try to expose them to as much of it as I can. This book shows children that nonfiction does not have to be dry and boring. I learned a lot about tarantulas through this book; they were creatures I never thought much about before. This text helps to make them seem less "creepy" to children. My students love this book and a few of them like to take the book aside and play the parts of tarantula and interviewer.

This book is both humorous and informative. My kids love it! The illustrations and dialog work perfectly together. This is a must have!
