I bought this book because my grandchildren are coming to visit and I thought they would find it interesting. It also makes a great book for bathroom reading because you can pick it up and just read short bits at a time. It is filled with pictures and interesting information about spiders from around the world and although geared to youth, I found myself learning alot too. Now my husband is also reading it.

Summary: This book is a book on the life of spiders and teaches children about the different spiders, poisonous and nonpoisonous, jumping spiders and spiders who live underwater. It also teaches kids the difference between spiders and trianchelas.

I thought that this was a well written book with lots of useful information for boys who like spiders, but it’s not really my type of book.

Nonfiction

WARNING: One type of spider eats its mother and the females eat their mates.

Informational book about all kinds of arachnids organized into small fact boxes and accompanied by lots of color photographs.

Read with Bryce, summer 2014. He gave it 2 stars.
