A fantastic--and somewhat frightening--book for young readers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
There are 31 pages of absolutely fantastic pictures and illustrations of spiders in this book. Each page is rich in descriptions of what a spider is (don't you dare call it an "insect") and the various specific behaviors and idiosyncracies of different kinds of spiders. There are facts galore available on each page! From spiders with 3-inch bodies and 10-inch leg spans to small blind spiders, kids will be delighted in the sinister behavior of black widows and frightening looks of tarantulas to the motley camoflage of the crab spiders and the incredible agile feats of the spitting spider. In future edtions, a glossary and index in the back of the book would be helpful. This is the definitely a bad gift idea for arachnophobics (although a spider in a box would be worse), but perhaps a great gift for future arachnologists!
