Spiders

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

Very informative book! I was engaged and trapped into this book. The more I read the more I wanted to keep on reading. Excellent information about the sizes, parts, and how they drink their prey. Although spiders have eight eyes, their vision is not very clear. Did you know that spiders don’t have any bones inside their bodies? Amazing! Spiders have a life span of one to two years, but tarantulas can live up thirty years. They become more dangerous they are looking for their mate. Many female spiders tend to bigger than males. Males often have to fight or chase other male spiders away from their mate. Spiders can lay between a handful of eggs to about 2,000 eggs.

Excellent nonfiction book. The factual information is phenomenal and the photographs of the spiders captures the real essence of a spider. The photographs sometimes take the whole pages, which I thought was exciting and it was a create way to demonstrate to the readers the real size of the largest known spider.
