This book was really cool. I really liked the way the spider was humanized and told his life story from his point of view. The story showed us some of the things that happen in nature - like the spider molting out of his skin. The story also showed us some of the spiders natural enemies -as well as the things that scare spiders. They had a vacuum drill in spider school - much like we have fire drills - that is hilarious... I know you're laughing right now if you're reading this...

The animations are very real - sort of. They give human characteristics to all of the animals in the story - but all spiders have eight legs. They use a lightning bug to light up the room on one page. They talk about eating dinner with the Worm's and they eat leaves and rotten tomatoes.

This book is worth the read. I found it very entertaining. ( )

This book is a daily diary entry about a spider. It goes through and tells about what spiders are, how they act, what they eat, what they are afraid of, etc. It's a very educational book for kids about spiders and encourages children to not be afraid of spiders!

This story is about a spider and his days at school. He has interactions with his family, worm, and fly. He learns a lot about life and being a spider. This story is very funny and interesting.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060001534, Hardcover)

This is the diary ... of a spider.

But don't be worried – he's more scared of you and your gigantic shoe! Actually, he's a lot like you. He goes to gym class and has Grandparents' Day at school. But he also spins sticky webs, scales walls, and takes wind–catching lessons. Lucky for him, his best friend is a fly!

Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss, the team behind the #1 bestselling Diary Of A Worm, spin a hilarious tale about the upside–down web world of an eight–legged charmer and his unlikely friend, Fly.
