One of six books so far in this series of quickly-read arachnid guides, I think this is fine, but certainly goes down as "one to buy when the school library suddenly gets a bottomless budget and limitless space". You certainly have to want to generate an interest in the critters, and that is not going to be easy with a dinner-plate sized, hairy, venomous, jumping spider. Who cares if it can shoot hairs as protection, and can grow its own legs back – it's a spider! As the pictures here gloriously prove...

Four stars, as it has no end of qualities, but in all realism this is very, very niche.

I thought that this book was excellent!

It is only a short book but it has a lot of facts that are fun, and interesting.

The images used are great too and even though I, myself, am not a spider fan, I wasn't put off by them.

This is one of a number of books on different spider species by this author and I would definitely pick up another.

It was well laid out, clear text and quite a lot of content too.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

Soooo cute & informative for kiddos!

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, & the publisher for this ebook in exchange for an honest review!
