具体描述
Miss Muffet wasn't the only little girl who was ever frightened by a spider. Many girls and boys, and even many grown-ups, are afraid of or repulsed by these eight-legged, creepy, crawly creatures. In this Gareth Stevens Imagination Library series readers will be treated to full-color, close-up photographs of some of the world's poisonous spiders. Easy-to-read text explains what each spider looks like, how it makes its web, hunts for food, and, most importantly, tells all about its bite. Although smaller than a dime, they have a bite that is fifteen times more poisonous than rattlesnake venom. Readers will enjoy being caught up in the web of intriguing facts and colorful photos.
