If you have a bug lover, you’ll know that spiders are one of those fantastic species of bugs with amazing abilities. I have an amazing list of spider books for kids that your bug lover will appreciate.
Spiders are not insects but arachnids since they do not have the same body components as insects.
My son, the animal expert, is very quick to point out that distinction. If you’re creating a spider unit study for your students then you’ll need to include some of these spider books.
Books can be great inspiration for writing, art and crafts and so much more. I love book based learning and that’s what we do here a lot in the early ages.
