Yes, I'm a girl and was given this book as a child as a gift. A gift that I Ioved. While spiders still make me scream being able to look at them up close without them landing on me or biting me was very cool. Each page has at least one spider on it and it gives basic information about the kinds of spiders, where they live, what they eat and how they spin their webs.
I got the book in 1990 and know they've made newer books full of cutting edge photography that are probably amazing but growing up I found this book for young explorers awesome.
