The host of this stiff competition, Dr. Eleanor Spicer Rice, teaches the rules for spider interactions (Do not touch! Do not fear!), gives a digestible breakdown of arachnids, and introduces the contestants.

The Deadliest: Spider invites readers into the world of spiders: where they live, their spidery habits―and what could happen if you get bitten by one. It also encourages readers to appreciate them, showing how they survive, why they’re important to the places they live―and why we should leave them alone and protect them. With humor and accessible science presented in a colorful graphic format by best-selling artist Max Temescu, this fang-filled picture book shows that a lot to learn about these deadly creatures beyond their venomous bites.
