(3) K-3 Kingfisher Readers series. Amid just a bit of fearmongering, this lively book gives good information about spiders, such as their distribution, classification, methods of capturing and hunting prey, silk-spinning, mating, and significant differences from insects. Numerous photos closely match the text, and the relatively few spider species that are dangerous to humans (one hundred out of approximately 38,000) are described carefully. Glos., ind.
