Tarantulas

It might be hard to imagine keeping a spider as a pet, especially one as big as a tarantula. These furry arachnids can grow as large as a dinner plate, but don't worry, they're not dangerous to humans. In this book, readers will learn about the habitat and food that tarantulas need to survive. These and other early elementary life-science topics are enhanced by full-color photographs on each page. Fact boxes provide students with even more information about these fascinating spiders.
