I enjoyed reading this book and think it would be appropriate for all ages. This book would pique the interest of any study who is interested in learning more about animals, especially spiders. The book has an intriguing cover with a large image of a spider. The book is a Robert F. Sibert Honor book.

This book contains lots of information about the way spiders live, how their body works, different statistics about spiders, and the different species of spiders. The book includes photographs of real spiders with captions describing what the spider may be doing in the photograph. The book also contains facts about how spiders find a mate and acquire their food.

Spiders are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. And some bite like Wolf spider i think 🤔 and brown spiders. That's all i know and spiders are dangerous some spiders.

batsy I am *terrified* of spiders but if I mentally block out its legs I can acknowledge that it's beautiful and so unique. (However I can't mentally block out its legs 😩😩) 4y
zezeki I'm not a fan of spiders, but I have to admit that it's a beauty. I've been seeing all kinds of spiders recently in my area that I've never seen before, and it's unsettling. Now that I think about it, they were also yellow, or had some yellow stripes on them. 🤔 4y
LeahBergen Omg! He looks like a Pysanka (a Ukrainian Easter egg)!! 4y

ValerieAndBooks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa thank you! I posted this on other social media and that‘s the answer I got there too. I‘ve never seen it before! 4y
ValerieAndBooks @batsy if it had started crawling towards me I‘d have freaked out for sure!! 4y
ValerieAndBooks @zezeki maybe it‘s the spider of the year 2020!! 4y
ValerieAndBooks @Hestapleton that reminds me of when I was a kid, I had an insect ID book (too bad I don‘t still have it) and when I got to the spider section, would be sure not to touch the pictures there as I turned the pages. Arachnophobia is a real thing !! 4y

ValerieAndBooks @Hooked_on_books don‘t you get to encounter a lot of spiders in your gardens? I‘m sure it still startles every time though! 4y
Lynnsoprano @LeahBergen That‘s a perfect description! I‘m a lot less bothered by spiders than I used to be. It‘s another living in Florida thing 😄 We get huge webs on our patio between hanging baskets or from the fence to one of the plants. I‘m fine unless I get caught in a web. 4y
Lynnsoprano @ValerieAndBooks About 6 months after we moved to Florida, we had a snake in the house. It was small, fortunately, and I killed it with a can of bug spray and a fly swatter 😂 Now that scared me! 4y
Hooked_on_books During certain times of year, there are tons of spiders out in the flower fields. We have crab spiders which are basically all black but actually do look like little crabs. I walk into their webs often. I don‘t like that. 😝 4y
ValerieAndBooks @Lynnsoprano eek a snake in the house 😱. I would have totally freaked out! 4y
ValerieAndBooks @Hooked_on_books @lynnsoprano there‘s something about walking through webs — ugh 😝 4y
Lynnsoprano @ValerieAndBooks Oh, it did at the time! Especially since I was home alone. Now the story of how, trying to figure out what to do, I grabbed a can of bug spray and a fly swatter, sprayed the snake, and as it started to slither, I smashed it with the fly swatter until it was dead, used the can to push it onto the fly swatter and carry it out to the garbage is good for some laughs 😂 4y

Review: Spiders by Nic Bishop, 2007, is a nonfiction book all about spiders! It talks about the different kinds of spiders there are, what it eats, how it grows and more interesting things!
Blurb: Again I would use this in my classroom if children showed an interest in the topic and wanted to learn more. It's a great resource because its factual, has pictures and is well researched.

This non-fiction book was all about spiders, as the tittle suggest. It includes very zoomed in illustrations of the spiders/bugs and many interesting facts to go with them. The pictures are very detailed too. It‘s main focus is how spiders survive.

Spiders by Nic Bishop was published in 2007. The book describes a lot of different spiders and the characteristics that they have. Although they all might look different, they have similar characteristics. I like this book because the illustrations are large and realistic allowing children to get a good representation of each one.

I thought this book was very interesting and had a lot of cool images. Although I am not the biggest fan of bugs, so the images were not so appealing to me. This book described different aspects about spiders, and gives a lot of information about spiders.

Spiders | Nic Bishop

A spider's body has two main parts. The back part is called the abdomen. This contains the heart, which pumps pale blue blood (yes, blue!), and the spinnerets, which make silk.

This book talks about the different sizes of spiders, different kinds of spiders, fangs, molting, weaving webs, hunting, dancing and eating. It gives you very detailed and close up photographs of the spiders so beware--spooky. But so awesome if you want to learn more about spiders!

This was a very cool book if you are interested in spiders(creeped me out). The structure of the book made it very easy to read. It had a certain sentence emphasized in each page and then more information ins smaller font if you'd like to read more on the topic
