This book has so many pictures and information about spiders and insects. The pictures are in color and my 9 year old grandson loves the books. He loves studying insects and spiders among other animals and sea life. I have purchased many of the discovery books for him and have never been disappointed.
Great pictures , lots of information on hundreds, thousands of types of insects
