Science Comics: Spiders: Worldwide Webs

Description

Every volume of Science Comics offers a complete introduction to a particular topic-dinosaurs, the solar system, volcanoes, bats, robots, and more. Whether you're a fourth grader doing a natural science unit at school or a thirty-year-old with a secret passion for airplanes, these books are for you! In this volume, a sister and brother agree to help a talking spider find her missing child, but they don't realize that it will take them on a journey across the globe! Along the way they'll meet spiders who live in every environment imaginable, from their own backyard to the Australian Outback. Although they seem scary at first, once you learn why spiders have gotten such a bad reputation you'll see that spiders are actually here to help!

An artful blend of general facts and myth-busting; ideal for collections seeking to bolster STEM collections and convince readers to give spiders a chance. --School Library Journal Praise for the Science Comics series: This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --New York Times Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --Popular Science
