Description

Skeptical readers may not think a spider could take down and eat a bird, but this volume certainly proves it. Goliath bird-eating spiders stalk their flying prey, though––despite their name––they mostly eat insects and other easier-to-hunt victims. Vivid photographs of these creepy crawlers are featured throughout the volume, as accessible text and fact boxes guide readers to knowing all about the spiders at an age-appropriate level!

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!
