About this ebook
You've seen them in your house, and in your yard. They're spiders. But there is more to these little guys than just their cobwebs.
Spiders can be interesting if you take the time to get to know them. For example: do you know:
What part of a spider’s body contains the lungs?
What are book lungs?
How many eyes does a spider have?
Why a spider doesn’t stick to his own web?
How many kinds of spiders there are?
Find out what a spider looks like, where it lives, what it eats, what eats it, how babies are born, and other fun facts.
All measurements in American and metric.
