Pogo Books: All About Arachnids is an eight book series that is written in a format that is appropriate for young readers that are ready for a bit more complexity in sentence structure. Typical nonfiction features include: table of contents, index, glossary, labeled diagrams and illustrations, headings and bold typed words. “Activities & Tools” presents a simple STEM activity and “To Learn More” notes ways to gain more information. Each book has high interest photos and details habitats, behavior, anatomy and diet of a particular spider. Add this series to your library for those newer readers that are ready for something more.

In Wolf Spiders, readers learn that there are over 2,300 different species. They are known for their long legs that they use to sprint after their prey and pounce – just like a wolf! This book is full of facts presented in accessible chunks along with stunning photos and labeled diagrams. Hand this book to your young readers and they’ll be hunting for the others in the series! Highly recommended.
