Spidernaut
Arabella, the Spider in Space
—
This was my second book in the Animalographies series published by Albert Whitman & Company. The story is written by Jodie Parachini. Told in the first person as if written by Arabella herself, she describes how she was the first spider to spin a web in space in 1973, and even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records. Reading Arabella’s diary and the story, we learn how spiders spin webs and why this experiment, suggested by a high school student, was important.
Rich, textured illustrations that fill the pages with blues and golds perfectly complement the narrative. Purchase for nonfiction collections about space exploration.

This title in the Animalographies series takes a clever approach, and the cheerful, textured illustrations make the spiders—and space—a thing of beauty.
