I'm Trying to Love Spiders

40 pp. | Viking | July, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-670-01693-8 $16.99
(3) K-3 The conceit of this book--that the author wants to overcome her loathing of spiders--effectively and engagingly conveys accurate information about these arachnids, from various types to anatomy and capabilities. The humorous tone is matched by cartoon drawings and random lettering, punctuated by black splotches for when loathing overcomes good intent. All ends well, though.
