Synopsis

Spiders are known for spinning webs and waiting for unlucky insects to get caught in the sticky strands. Wolf spiders, however, are not so passive. Readers will learn how these skilled hunters stalk and attack prey, just like the much larger animals they are named after. They will also find out how these eight-legged arachnids reproduce, care for their young, and construct their homes.

About this title

From Booklist:

Books in the long-running Nature’s Children series provide informative introductions to wild animals around the world. Throughout each book, full-page photos offer close-up views of creatures within their habitats. On the facing pages, the text discusses the animal’s features, behaviors, life cycle, relatives, contributions to its ecosystem, and (sometimes) endangered status. Features of particular interest to students include the range map in each volume and the opening, one-page “Fact File” feature, which briefly lays out basic information such as the animal’s species, distribution around the world, habitats, physical characteristics, habits, and diet. In Wolf Spiders, enlarged photos show a wide variety of the spiders in action, while the text describes attributes such as their web-free hunting prowess. With their clear organization, colorful photos, and straightforward presentation of facts, these books are well designed for students researching and writing reports on specific animals. Grades 3-5. --Carolyn Phelan
