Tarantulas

With eight legs and the ability to climb walls, tarantulas aren't your typical pet. They need big, warm terrariums, places to hide, and branches to spin webs in. Most tarantulas are gentle, but they're not cuddly pets. Covering dietary and shelter needs, plus unique features like barbed hair, striving readers get a hi-lo nonfiction look into the special care and dedication it takes to own this unusual pet.

Colorful infographics and accessible text make this chapter book a hit for animal lovers. A table of contents, glossary with pronunciations, further resources, and an index all enhance comprehension.
