Spider Book Recommendations

The first thing I love to do when we begin a new themed unit is grab ALL. THE. BOOKS. for that theme. And finding books for a spider theme is SO much fun! Using a Science themed Math and Literacy unit is a great way to include nonfiction texts in your reading! Check out some of our favorite spider books below! *These are Amazon affiliate links.
