Wolf Spiders

This is a great non-fiction book all about ‘wolf’ spiders–who would’ve known that there are around 2,400 species of just wolf spiders.  Wolf spiders differ from regular spiders in how they catch their food.  Regular spiders spin a silky web and wait for it’s prey to become trapped.  Wolf spiders hunt food and jump on them and inject them with venom; they use their silk to line their homes.  This amazing book gives detailed information, and within the text, there are words written in red that can be found in the glossary in the back of the book.  When you open to a page, you’ll find one page of text and the other page a full-page photograph, showing the most minute details of the wolf spider.  Also is included an interesting factoid or caption info.  I am anxious to check out the other 40 non-fiction books about animals in this series.  They would make an excellent addition to any school library.
