These little eight-legged creatures are often the stuff of people’s nightmares, but spiders are amazing animals that are essential for our world. In this book, spiders set out to convince their human doubters that they really aren’t out to scare or harm people. In fact, they are far too busy weaving beautiful silk structures, hunting, keeping insect pests under control, and raising their young to want to frighten humans.

  • Learn how spiders are essential to ecosystems everywhere
  • Investigate why some people are afraid of spiders
  • And celebrate the lives of these little animals that so often get ignored or are dismissed as scary

Told from a spider’s point of view, this fascinating, fact-packed celebration of spiders is determined to turn kids everywhere into spider fans and protectors.
