This book brought so many squeals of delight, although my daughter was confused why we were squishing the spiders. She's a huge bug fan.

I also had the immense pleasure of hosting Bethany Barton for an author visit at my school, and WOW she is so cool. We are so grateful for her time, and will always think fondly of the toilet paper canon. ( )

This is a cute book that gives a lot of good facts about spiders. It tells us why we need to "love" spiders and what they do to benefit us. This book is a great book to read in a science classroom especially if you are teaching a lesson on arachnids or even the food chain. This book would be a great one to get the lesson started. ( )

This is a great book for young readers to get involved and engaged in reading the text! It is a book that follows someone as they try to learn how to love spiders and offers true facts about the spiders as well. Reminding us we do not need to be afraid of them and that they are an important part of our ecosystem. I think that it is especially engaging for kids, as it is written in narrative, almost journal form. I would use this text to engage kids in learning about the ecosystem and even just teaching them facts about spiders. ( )
