A Clutter of Short Verse on Eight Legs

Leslie Bulion, illustrated by Robert Meganck

Description

Welcome to the silk-spinning, bungee-jumping, hunting, trapping, trick-filled world of Araneae!

Poet Leslie Bulion and illustrator Robert Meganck again team up for this clutter (a collective noun for spiders) of short poems and humorously accurate illustrations celebrating the amazing attributes of our eight-legged predatory friends. Meet spiders that spit silk, roll like wheels, scuba dive, hide under trap doors, strum tunes, and so much more. Watch as they find mates, find prey…or find mates that become prey!
