Spiders

Bishop, N. (2007). Spiders. New York: Scholastic Nonfiction.

Bishop does a fantastic job talking all about the different colors, sizes and types of spiders. Bishop explains how long they've existed dating back to prehistoric times. Bishop is very informative be teaching about some spiders being as big as the Goliath Birdeater Tarantula from South America, to its main parts, to how they eat, to how they build their webs, to how they jump dance for a female. His up close photography provides a realistic,under the scope type of experience. This book would be great for any Life Science class, any lesson associated with spiders, or any arachna-fanatic.
