Synopsis
An introduction to the physical characteristics, behavior, and life cycle of arachnids.
Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz - Children's Literature
A brief phrase or sentence on each double-page spread opposite an illustration introduces the variety of creatures in the arachnid class of arthropods, while listing the characteristics they share eight legs, two main body parts, outside skeleton, along with other important facts about their location and behavior. The fifteen creatures depicted and named are then each described in detail in paragraphs in the Afterword. John Sill's naturalistic watercolor depictions of each arachnid in a typical action are made visually appealing while supplying the facts of their natural history. A useful reference as well as a way to make these creatures less frightening. 2003, Peachtree Publishers,
