My beloved husband coaxed me into understanding the incredible and fun adventures of insects and spiders. They stopped being scary things...except for jumping spiders because, well, they can jump at you. Who knew someone had the skill to show a spider's many eyes as somehow warm and cozy looking?! It has happened! Great book for anyone (of any age) that's a little uncertain about spiders or the little creatures that co-exist with us. The last few pages are loaded with information that make the unknown fascinating and approachable. Well done!
Great combination of artwork and educational opportunities, some kids may be scared at first however they will love the jumping spider by the conclusion. Plenty of educational information on jumping spiders told in a compelling format. I would recommend this book for any school library or teacher.
What's it like to be a jumping spider? Find out with simple science and beautiful watercolors. Lots of back matter expands upon the text.
GREAT picture book science!!
