A wonderful trade book full of opportunities to get kiddos wondering about webs. The pictures! If you have ever tried to photograph a spider web (this science teacher has tried MANY times) it is not an easy task. Especially those morning sheet webs. (New term, I just learned from this read) Tricky business.

Many different types of spiders and webs are covered. Wish they would have used the word "instinct" to talk about spiders are born knowing how to spin webs. Close-up photos of different types of spiders.

This book needs to be a lay flat picture book.... kids are going to pour over these photos!

Are you a fellow arachnophobe? This book might help you move towards becoming an arachnophile! Authored by Emily Morgan of Picture-Perfect Science and Picture-Perfect STEM fame, the text perfectly reaches that difficult balance between being simple and easy to understand while still conveying quality descriptions and complex concepts. As an informal science educator at a natural history museum, this was my go-to book for developing a STEM field trip activity and a teacher professional development workshop. In addition to the text, I love how this book had beautiful representative photos and not just illustrations of the different types of webs.
