My kiddo is afraid of bugs, so she would not read this. Poor little thing :-)

Interesting book for younger kids. My main issue is relatively minor, but important to note - spiders are not bugs.

Accelerated reading level 3.2

I would think it to be a scarey book, but my grandchildren loved it. It is recommended for Grades 1-3.
