Summary: This is a very information book about the creepy crawlers, spiders. You learn many facts about spiders for instance; how some can make good pets and they are not insects because they have two body parts with eight legs. You learn about the webs they spin and the food they eat. The photography is very detailed and will capture a child's attention. You really see spiders in a new light. This would be great for a classroom library. A teacher can start a discussion asking what the children already know about spiders and go from there.
