About Arachnids by Cathryn Sill, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This kid-friendly volume offers a first glimpse into the creepy, crawly, complex world of spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks. Author Cathryn Sill explains in easy-to-understand language what arachnids are, how they live, what they eat, and how they reproduce. Wildlife painter John Sill's detailed realistic illustrations reflect the diversity of the arachnid population-from the poisonous Brown Recluse Spider to the innocuous Giant Desert Hairy Scorpion-and present each in its natural habitat. An appendix, which provides further detail on the arachnids portrayed, will inspire young readers to learn more about these fascinating, often misunderstood creatures. | About Arachnids by Cathryn Sill, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
