DK Readers L3: Spiders' Secrets

My boys loved this reader. Lots of great information! Enjoyable!

This is one book that I think belongs in every child's library. It is absolutely fascinating - from the tarantulas having cousins that eat birds and lizards in Australia (but if you watch Steve Irwin you already knew that!), to the fact that black widow spiders just live in Arizona, this is really a page turner and-a-half! Adults will love reading this to the younger ones and alone-readers will enjoy delving into these fun facts about creepy spiders! Did you know that one spider can change itself into an ant? I suppose my only complaint is the last sentence that has the spider saying something like: "come-on honey. Let's make spiderlings together!" I found that quite uncalled for in a child's reading book. Other than that, it's really, really fascinating reading about all the different spiders and it's one of the favorites in this house. Highly, highly recommend!

Even though this may be a childrens' book, I've learned more from this book than any other field book I've read.
