What if a Spider Became an Astronaut? A Children's Animal Book
Most spiders spin a web and passively wait for prey to come to them. Jumping spiders, by contrast, actively hunt by jumping to catch their food.
What if a jumping spider was sent to the International Space Station? What if a spider became an astronaut?
When the spider jumped, it would simply float. No one knew if the spider could hunt in a weightless environment. This nonfiction children's animal book for elementary kids chronicles the amazing voyage of Nefertiti, the Spidernaut to the International Space Station and back.
This is an astonishing story of change: through the dark and cold, in spite of being weightless and isolated, this incredible spider adapted and learned to hunt. Nefertiti's story of survival brings hope that we, too, can adapt to a changing world. Read Nefertiti's inspiring journey into space. Perfect for kids who love space, astronauts, bugs, spiders, and STEM science.
CHILDREN'S ANIMAL BOOK SERIES
Bird. Mammal. Marine Mammal. Spider. Amphibian. Reptile. Mollusk.
This series includes the story of the oldest bird in the world, a spider in space, an orphaned puma cub, a bullfrog with a world-record leap, the poignant story of saving a species from extinction, the dolphin who inspired a government to protect him, and a humble snail who teaches us to observe.
The series is much more than just an introduction to the animal kingdom. It chronicles the story of how humans interact with animals in various ways: how we enjoy, challenge, admire, endanger, and save them. It's a fabulous series for kids to learn about the amazing and extraordinary complexity of animals.
