About this item

Hilarious illustrated non-fiction about the spider, perfect for beginning readers. Humorous text and funny illustrations will catch young readers in its web. Part of a series of hilarious nonfiction about disgusting creatures, this book looks at the spider. It covers such topics as the spider’s habitats (pretty much everywhere but outer space), the silk it spins (it can trap prey and makes a nifty bowtie), and its parenting practice (female spiders carry around their eggs in a silk purse). Although silly and off-the-wall, The Spider contains real information that will both amuse and teach. About the Author Elise Gravel is
