Description
Talk show host Katy Did, of KBUG Radio, interviews a special guest, Harry the Tarantula, who tells her listeners lots of wild things about spiders! This clever picture book will tickle kids' funny bones while imparting accurate science information in a fresh, imaginative way. Nosy Katy questions the hairy spider about his latest adventure-being captured in a bottle by an inquisitive child. Then she pries into Harry's personal life to get "the latest chirp" about tarantula size, diet, poisonous bites, and other juicy details. Zany yet informative pictures by noted illustrator Henrik Drescher enhance the playful tone of the book, and an illustrated chart at the end provides more fun facts about these creatures that kids find so intriguing.
