The Magic of Spiders

This is one of the most delightful educational books for children I've seen. The illustrations capture the magic of science yet are as accurate in detail as a photograph. The spiders' world opens to the reader as Oz opened to Dorothy. The writing too is exciting, both direct and poetic - a rarity. A particularly good touch is the extra information given in the appendix, suggesting that there is so much more - fully as interesting - to learn about spiders. Kudos to both the author and the illustrator!
