Spiders Biggest! Littlest!

We see them in the garden, or perhaps in the garage, maybe in the home, where they have spun their intricate webs. They are spiders. And they are among the world's most fascinating creatures. This book introduces young readers to spiders, big and small. The jumping spider is as small as an ant, while the goliath bird-eater spider, with its legs spread out, may be as big as a dinner plate. A spider spins a web to catch food. Imagine what a spider could catch with a huge web. How huge? The nephila spider in Uganda builds the world's biggest web--sometimes as wide as two cars. With a simple text and amazing photographs, Sandra Markle and Dr. Simon Pollard introduce young readers to spiders, how they behave, how they survive, and how they defend themselves.Markle, Sandra is the author of 'Spiders Biggest! Littlest!', published 2004 under ISBN 9781590781906 and ISBN 1590781902.
