Title: I’m Trying to Love Spiders
Author: Bethany Barton
Summary:
I’m Trying to Love Spiders is a delightfully silly interactive book packed with amazing arachnid facts just as the cover proclaims. The narrator is desperately trying to convince herself that spiders are cool. They have been around forever; they build really cool webs; they turn bugs into Slurpees! Well, that last one sounds disgusting, but you get the message. Kids will love smashing the spiders as they creep closer to the reader’s hand and they will love learning about these creepy-cool creatures!
