Spiders

Bishop,N. (2007). Spiders. New York, NY: Scholastic.

Spiders is an informational book that brings us up close to the world of spiders. We learn about their body composition, its food, its ability to make webs, amongst many other things.  In his book, Bishop brings us close up photos of a variety of spiders that will appeal to both children and adults.  In the bottom corners of each page he offers a short description of what we see in the photos.  In addition, an index is included for quick reference to key words. Last, but not least, he offers a glossary of important words!

As a follow up activity, students can create a poster where they list interesting facts about what they learned.  They'll enjoy adding their own illustrations!
