Review by Booklist Review
Books in the Freaky Facts About series are perfect for kids accustomed to Web pages. Competent cartoons, full-color photos, boxes, sidebars, and facts are pulled together on busy but appealing pages that deliver a shower of brief, tantalizing fact bites. In this book readers will find plenty of close-ups of spiders as well as information about what they eat, how they behave, where they live, and more. The tone is casual, and the cartoons provide a light coat of comedy. The index is limited to specific spiders mentioned in the text, so this is truly for browsers. --Stephanie Zvirin Copyright 2007 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review
This scattered book presents a variety of facts to illuminate the world of arachnids. The busy double-page spreads include close-up photographs, cartoons, and ""That's Weird"" text boxes. There's no linearity; bits and pieces of information jump from one topic to the next. Readers interested in browsing can drop in anywhere for a quick bite. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
