In this spirited fourth volume about the kids at Table Two in Mrs. Zookey's second-grade class, the narrative incorporates a science lesson about spiders as Richard and the other students try to learn about arachnids despite troublemaker Patrick's mean-spirited distractions. Lighthearted cartoon illustrations follow the class on a field trip to observe spiders, during which Patrick's antics leave him, literally, all wet.
