Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1–3—Inviting new covers and a fresher format are the major improvements in these new editions of titles first published in 2002 and 2003. Inside, the backgrounds are pastel instead of white, and the (same) photographs that accompany the short paragraphs of text now have scalloped or curved edges. While there are some minor textual changes, the content is basically the same. A few short sections have been combined; some sentences have been added, while others have been reworded or cut; and an unlabeled, "actual size" drawing of the invertebrate supplements a simple anatomical diagram. Daddy Longlegs is at times oversimplified. For instance, in explaining that daddy longlegs are arachnids, but not spiders, the text implies that all spiders make webs, which is misleading—many species do not. It is also unclear about the arachnid's size, stating that its body "is usually the size of your smallest fingernail," with front legs "as long as your hand," instead of citing average measurements. Earwig and Pillbug will be the most useful of the three titles, as there is little information on these creatures aimed at this audience.—Karey Wehner, formerly at San Francisco Public Library
