When you see a spider, does it scare you? Many people are afraid of spiders, but what they may not know is how valuable spiders are to the environment. These tiny creatures are important because they eat many other insects that can be harmful to humans, animals, and other crops. This engaging and age-appropriate text gives readers the tools to see that most spiders are helpful. Fun-filled fact boxes and striking, full-color photographs add excitement to this guide that presents basic science curriculum topics such as ecosystems and food chains.

      Grades 2-4 The Tiny Things, Big Impacts series (4 titles) takes a unique approach to demonstrating the importance of small animals or plants to the health of the planet at large. Each book introduces its subject in a double-page spread and then invites readers to imagine a variety of scenarios that could occur if its featured creature no longer existed, often manifesting in food shortages or exacerbated climate change. Insects run amok in Spiders, which highlights this bug's pest-control talents. The concept of a food web is established in each title, which often plays a role in the ensuing hypothetical scenarios that are told with a dash of humor to offset despair. A mix of digital illustrations and color photos is integrated into engaging magazine-style layouts with easily digestible text, and the final page of each book offers three actions the reader can take to help its critter or the environment as a whole. A unique and effective series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
