The Tarantula Scientist (Scientists in the Field Series)

The book itself was great and went well with our science unit we were working on. The corner of it however was damaged even though it was supposed to be a new book so as we read through it the pages started coming apart

Thank you so much!!! This book “The Tarantula Scientist” is for summer reading for my son. The free books with purchase were a welcomed surprise!! My son is excited to start reading!!

My 4th grade students LOVE this book. Students on, above and below reading level benefit from its engaging content, alone; depends on how you plan. I look forward to using it for informational text instruction every year. It has great text features throughout, makes tier 3 vocabulary fun and easy to learn (Why say spider when you can say arachnid?!), covers the childhood history of the subject (motivation for budding scientists) and there are myriad online supports for lesson planning. Everyone seems to love this book. You'll be in good company.

I’m a fan of Sy Montgomery and spiders, so ordered the book without reading the reviews. If I had, I’d have realized it was for kids! Fortunately, I have grandchildren...

Very well written, interesting facts, awesome pictures. My grandson loved it so much he now wants his own pet tarantula!

This book is a book full of lovely pictures, and with a beautiful lay out. It is worth buying for the great close ups pictures. But mostly I think this book is made for kids who will like to learn of the Tarantula-world. If you are an adult who seriously wants to keep Tarantulas, buy some of the other books, like The Tarantula keepers guide, and Animal Planet's, Tarantulas. And to have some fun, buy "The Lagacy of Annie Rose" by Carolyn E. Swagerle....

Very educational, adventurous, exciting tarantula book for my neice who loves spiders, and tarantulas in particular. Beautiful color photos and pictures of a scientist in the field studying these amazing creatures in their own habitat. Great explanations of his methods as well! Great book for the little scientist!

My daughter' 4th grade class uses this book for the new common core reading program. She left it in school on the night of a homework assignment and freaked out. I decided to check for the e book version and there it was! Now she can read on the go , without any added weight to the book bag, and it is hers to keep. Very affordable as we'll.

Didn’t dislike anything about the book! Bought it for my grandson who has been very interested in learning about Tarantulas. I feel this book will be used several times throughout his school years!
