Nic Bishop Spiders
CRITICS HAVE SAID
-
- While more simplistic than Seymour Simon’s equally attractive Spiders (HarperCollins 2003), this title is an attention-grabber and, paired with Michael Elsohn Ross’s Spiderology (Carolrhoda 2000), it might have kids poking into basements and peering into leaf litter to observe these fascinating arachnids caught in mid-skitter by Bishop’s sensitive lens.
