Bishop, N. (2007).
Spiders. New York, NY: Scholastic Nonfiction.
Spiders by Nic Bishop is a great teaching and learning tool for almost any age. It contains an index to find specific spiders and a glossary to explain the "spidery" terms. This book contains closeup, clear, photographs. Some of these photographs were taken in the wild while others were taken in artificial settings that met the natural environment of the spider. The reader finds this out in the author's note at the end of the book. A great introduction to spiders of all sorts.
Assignment # 2 - Evaluation Criteria
The style of this book makes it an exquisite and exciting
informational book to read. Each page
has bolded text to illustrate the main point of the page. You could actually just read the bolded text
on each page to get the most basic facts about spiders but there are lots of
additional details woven in. This author
takes the photos himself. They are so vibrant and detailed that you can see
each little hair on their legs. Each page also has a picture caption that looks
like it is in a web which adds to the style and readability of this book.
