Jumping Spider

By David M. Schwartz

Book Overview

This Springboard into Science Series shows young children that every living thing goes through a cycle of development and growth that is unique to its species. Life Cycles introduces young readers to the fascinating series of life changes for plants and animals as familiar as green beans and chickens and as elusive as hummingbirds and jumping spiders. Full-color, close-up photographs and straightforward, easy-to-understand text help bring each reader's understanding of nature full cycle.Jumping spiders, unlike other spiders, do not spin their silk into webs in which to catch prey. They spin silk sacs instead, in which they lay their eggs. Take a close look at a jumping spider's full cycle of growth and development.
