Spider, Spider

Spider, Spider Author: Kanchan Bannerjee Illustrator: Soumya Menon

Hello!

Can you see me?

I am not easy to spot.

2/9

I can see, but not very well.

Although I have eight eyes.

3/9

Watch me jump.

Watch me swing.

I have shared these tricks with Spider-Man. 4/9

I can crawl up a wall. Don’t worry, I will not fall.

The tips of my eight hairy legs can stick to anything!

5/9

I don’t sleep much.

At night, I go looking for a snack.

6/9

I am like the police. I catch pests like mosquitoes, insects and ies!

Oh wait, there's another one. Am o to catch it. BYE! 7/9

More about the spider!

The smallest spider is as big as the tip of a pencil.

And the larger spiders can be as big as a dinner plate.

These spiders live in caves.

8/9

Here is an activity you can easily do at home.

Observe a spider – do not disturb it.

See how they can walk on eight legs, without getting them all tangled up.

9/9
