Spectacular Spiders

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gay W. Holland. In a simple, poetic text, a girl describes a garden spider's physical characteristics and behavior. Though the text is sometimes awkward (and overuses the word thread), the girl's affinity for the creature will impress young naturalists. Holland's rich, textured colored pencil illustrations are realistic and appealing. An illustrated six-page section at the end adeptly answers common questions about spiders.
