by Cathryn Sill, Illustrated by John Sill.

Beautifully illustrated, this guide to the arachnid world provides a first window into the world of spiders, mites, ticks, and scorpions. One-sentence texts provide information for each illustration. The Afterward opens the window a little farther, extending more information about the sixteen arachnids showcased in the full-page watercolor paintings.
