Kaz Windness's Reviews > Jumper: A Day in the Life of a Backyard Jumping Spider

I love spiders, but even if you are fearful, this brilliant picture book featuring-- you guessed it!-- a jumping spider will change your mind. Exquisitely illustrated, this book puts you in the shoes... er... paws of a hungry garden spider as it hunts prey while avoiding becoming prey. It's "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" meets a non-fiction picture book told in a compelling storybook format, brilliantly accomplished like only Roaring Brook Press (see also the "If Animals Dissapeared" series by Lily Williams) can do. I bought a second copy after reading the book and will be sharing this with the special kids in my life. JUMP for a copy today. You'll be glad you did.
