Bishop, N. (2007). Spiders. New York, NY: Scholastic, Inc.
Spiders is every nature-loving child’s dream inside a
book. Nic Bishops is able to demonstrate the anatomy of spiders and their
distinctive characteristics. He does this with photography and even
includes a centerfold depicting the trajectory of a jumping spider. This
is definitely the way to get young readers interested, and most importantly,
educated on the critters that terrify adults the most. The specimens are carefully
placed on the page and there is information about these everywhere!
Science teachers can use this
book as an introductory piece; it includes basic spider anatomy and behavior.
Students can also learn about the differences between insects and spiders.
Parents can use this book
to talk to their children about safety. It can foster and differentiate a
feeling of fear and safety.
