Garden Spiders Live in My Backyard is the second book in the In My Backyard series. This book is designed to introduce children to the Black and Yellow Garden Spider through full-color photos that showcase each stage of its life cycle.

The story begins with the female spider weaving a large orb web in the garden and follows her until she builds an egg sac in the fall. The book culminates with hundreds of tiny spiderlings emerging in the spring and beginning the life cycle again.

This book is a valuable resource for:

  • supplementing the science curriculum
  • teaching life cycles
  • enhancing insect and spider units
  • building an understanding of biomes and habitats
  • promoting children's awareness of the world around them.
In addition to the photos and the story, the book also includes:
  • open-ended questions to encourage children to make text-to-life connections
  • vocabulary list
  • background information about spiders for parents and teachers
  • instructions for creating and displaying garden spiders in the classroom or at home
