What do different spiders look like?

Are they fluffy or smooth? Spotted or plain? Discover the answer with this simple, easy-to-read story!

Spiders might seem scary, but look closer—they're fascinating as well!

Can a Spider Be Fluffy? introduces children (and adults) to an incredible variety of spiders, encouraging readers to stop and study these unique arachnids. In this nonfiction picture book, you will meet all sorts of spiders, both common and rare—from spiders you may have found hiding in a corner to others you've never even heard about!

This book will:

  • teach young readers fun descriptive words like smooth, shiny, hairy, prickly, and spiky,
  • make spiders less scary for children who might be afraid of them, and
  • encourage children to explore nature and science with three bonus activities!

Can a Spider Be Fluffy? is an excellent resource for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary students, for parents and teachers alike. Ideal for ages 3 to 8.

Plus, Can a Spider Be Fluffy? is a great choice for fans of National Geographic's Kids Readers, Bethany Barton's I'm Trying to Love Spiders, or Dianna Hutts Aston's A Beetle Is Lively. This is an early-science/nature story written to engage young children and encourage them to explore the world around us.

Hello! I'm a children's author and illustrator--and an aspiring naturalist obsessed with slugs, bugs, and trees, among other things. My goal for all of my books is to inspire children to discover their own enthusiasm for the world around us.

While I've been writing for decades (at least two of them), I didn't really discover picture books until after my kids were born. That's when I ran out of time to read fantasy and started reading hundreds and hundreds of picture books instead. Eventually, my oldest asked me a question about eggs, and I decided to answer it with a picture book.

Then I wrote another book and created a coloring book about bugs.

Now I'm the author of four picture books and one coloring book, and I'm working on several more books to be published soon!

You can find kids activities and book recommendations on my blog, www.kidlitandsteam.com.

I got this book to go along with my preschool’s spider theme. I am not a huge fan of spiders personally so the fact that I love the illustrations so much blows my mind! I love all the different spiders and my students love deciding if the spider on the page was fluffy or not.

This was a great informative book about the different types of spiders there are surrounding us. My children loved the education surrounding the book and will definitely be much more aware of the occasional spiders we see in our desert landscape.

I remember once looking at a VERY TINY spider under a microscope and seeing how furry it looked... like a puppy dog! This is a cute book with nice illustrations. Hopefully it will help lessen some arachnophobia for some people!

The illustrations in this book somehow manage to make spiders look cute and friendly, despite being impressively detailed. Especially the giant house spider—I have to struggle not to scream when I see one and I don’t want my kids to grow up afraid of them, so this is a great way to show them spiders are nothing to be afraid of.
