This book will be of interest to middle and high school students who are fascinated by insects. The writing is scientific. All adult insects have six legs and three parts to their body; the head, the thorax and the abdomen. Spiders eat lots of flies and other pests; they have eight legs and can spin silk. Three spiders which are dangerous and can hurt people are the Red Back of Australia, the Black Widow of the U.S., the Night Stinger in New Zealand and the Funnelweb Spider of Sydney, Australia. There are other bugs as well, but I don't want to talk about them. I hate creepy crawlies!

This is another book that I bought to help get my students interested in reading on the english language. It is basically a book about small animals, mostly insects. It has some really nice pictures that help explain the words and is perfect for children age 5-10. It does contain some difficult words, but luckily there are good pictures to help the reader better understand the language.

This book can be used in my future classroom by introducing the concept of non-fiction informational texts during a science lesson. The students could infer how information was presented through the use of new vocabulary, labels, illustrations, charts, comparisons, and contrasts.
