Product Description
Uncover a Tarantula examines the structure and anatomy of the largest spiders in the world and provides fascinating facts and information on each exciting page. Learn how these predators capture and kill other insects and animals, use their bodies to protect and camouflage themselves and why their blood is green. This full-color illustrated book combines the best model elements to help readers truly uncover the mysteries of what makes things work. A fascinating three-dimensional presentation allows in-depth, hands-on exploration of the subject at hand. This unique model is easily built, deconstructed, and rebuilt layer-by-layer, system-by-system, just by turning a page, until an understanding of the topic is achieved. Kids will love to see and touch each disgusting but interesting tarantula part!

5 out of 5 stars Great idea   September 10, 2008
These books are a great idea, information and fun mixed together. My 7 year old reads them over and over.



3 out of 5 stars Interesting Read   December 28, 2007
We enjoy it. I just thought from the cover that it would be more "tarantula" looking. It is a "see through body" We love the details in the articles. Alot of fun information! We like looking at the "inside" of the tarantula.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful teaching aid!   November 18, 2006

This is a wonderful book that will help answer questions that children (and adults too!)will invariably have about these small wonders.

The embedded model nests well within itself, and the illustrations and text are full of interesting information about tarantulas. The organs are duplicated faithfully, compared to illustrations and photographs of dissected tarantulas I have seen, even with the enlargement. This makes understanding the anatomy and physiology much easier.

Children and adults will learn much about these misunderstood creatures and hopefully will treat them with more respect and dignity than they have received in the past. This book may go a long way to protecting and preserving these fascinating jewels of nature.



5 out of 5 stars Awesome Educational Tools   September 12, 2006
My 8 year old son absolutely LOVES his T-Rex uncover book and is asking for all the rest of them for Christmas!! For young inquisitive minds, these books are ideal. My son loves looking at all the different layers and reading the great facts.

A definite + purchase!



5 out of 5 stars Lots of Interesting Information   January 2, 2005

I am an adult who within the past few months has gotten very interested in tarantulas, and I now own 7 different species of them.

This book very concisely presents key facts about the tarantula anatomy (with a very illustrative clear model imbedded in the book itself, that peels away to show another layer of the spider's anatomy with each turn of the page), lifestyle, physiology, eating habits, and so forth.

I found the book extremely informative and based on hard scientific facts. A fairly quick read, I am keeping it handy for easy future reference.

This book made me appreciate even more these amazing animals!
