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.
