Leslie Bulion, award-winning educator favorite and master of science
poetry, is back with a humorous exploration of the silk-spinning,
bungee-jumping, hunting, trapping, trick-filled world of spiders!
Meet spiders that spit silk, roll like wheels, scuba dive, hide under
trap doors, strum tunes, and so much more. Watch as they find mates,
find prey...or find mates that become prey!
Award-winning poet Leslie Bulion and illustrator Robert Meganck team up
again for this clutter (a collective noun for spiders) of short poems
and humorously accurate illustrations celebrating the amazing attributes
of Araneae.
The book is also packed with helpful sidebars, call-outs, and back
matter, including a glossary of science terms, a description of the
poetic forms, a list of common and scientific names, a spider-hunting
adventure how-to, resources for further study, and a relative-size
chart. A feast for science and animal fans!
