Spider Books

This was a good book. It tells about all kinds of bugs. Their skeletons are on the outside. Some bugs help crops.

This series of Fit-A-Shape books is excellent for teaching children. They can improve their fine motor skills as well as learn matching shapes, colors and sizes. An excellent purchase to make for a toddler.

Great book for children to do research projects. I bought the book for Kalona Public Library. I previewed it at the library. I was amazed at the photos and the details. Easily could be used in high school too for a report.

my granddaughter is 4 and loves stickers. she uses these Sticker Story books and adds a lot of other stickers to them. a great way to introduce telling stories and composing pictures. Wonderful!!

Having just learned of this book while looking at an older age group of books,...I've found something worth buying for my brand new niece. Here the writer helps the child find out about all different kinds of bugs without getting into any detail (of course, for that age group...) and where they can be found and shows an observing nature,...not something where the child will be thinking of emulating in a negative manner. The illustrations are bright, animated and very fun to look at with each new page.
Lots of fun. Keep up the good work!!!

I had attended a "virtual Usborne book party" online give by a cousin last year. My son is 11 and abosulely loved the internet linked books I purchased last year, not only for the books but for the wonderful safe websites we could visit. We could watch videos of the animals and learn together. I was SO happy that I could order additional books at a fractions of the cost from Amazon merchants. I would highly recommend these books, they arrived promptly in great condition!

This is a wonderful book for young children. The detailed, brightly colored illustrations draw children's interest immediately. Once they have opened the book, lifting the flaps keeps them hooked! The information given about various insects is simple and easy for young children to understand. My children ask to read this book over and over again.

"Bugs Away! is an activity book sure to be enjoyed by fans of the "Miss Spider" series. There are a total of ten activities, ranging for a matching game to a word search. Most of the pages are brightly colored, just like other "Miss Spider" books. However, there are also a few pages in black-and-white to color in.

This book comes with wipe-off pages. That means that by using water-based crayons or markers with the book, it can be "wiped" and the book can be used again. This means that you can get some wonderful mileage out of this book, especially if your family is as big as Miss Spider's.

Set in rhyme, this is a great book with large, detailed illustrations. Honestly describes carnivorous creepy-crawlies (not too many details, though). Includes spiders with insects under broad group, all simply called ''bugs.'' Introduces concept of bug-eating humans in places ''where meat is scarce.'' Further explanation (without the confines of rhyme) is given at the end of the book in list form, beside thumbnail pictures of each page. Not for the VERY young (I carefully stressed to my 4 year old that the people who eat bugs prepare them first) or for the child still disturbed by animals eating each other.

My 8-year-old grandson got this book from the library and thinks it is just wonderful. He brought it over and made a big point of showing me all of the pictures of spiders (his favorites, not mine). The book is clearly written and informative, has good descriptions and excellent drawings at much more than life size. For the childhood insect lover, this seems to be a fine educational investment. It's special enough to him that I'm ordering it for his birthday in clear expectation of making some major "grandma" points. I would recommend it for any child his age with similar tastes.
