Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Each title provides solid information about a spider group. Key facts about the spider's physical features, habitats, and behavior are described with a few sentences per page, accompanied by a photograph. Special focus is given to their unique features, such as the trapdoor spider's hunting techniques. Photos offer different examples of each group, though species are only occasionally identified. Descriptions of how each spider captures and consumes prey are accompanied by images showing the action. Pictures of egg sacs and babies are also engaging. In some cases, the lack of captions makes it challenging to identify body parts described in the text, such as the wolf spider's palps or the tarantula's fangs. VERDICT Solid choices that provide engaging facts and photos on especially interesting spider types.--Steven Engelfried, West Linn PL, OR "School Library Journal"
