Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A huge spider pokes two hairy legs out of a hole in the sandy soil. The opening leads to the tarantula's underground home. The spider lines its home with silk to keep the walls from caving in. It also makes a ring-shaped silk mat near the entrance to catch prey. Welcome to the tarantula's burrow! Clear text, colorful photos, and diagrams will engage young readers as they explore the habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of these curious creatures. Age-appropriate activities and critical-thinking questions give readers an opportunity to make observations and gain valuable insights.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
