Once I Knew A Spider by Jennifer Owlings Dewey is a beautiful story about a new mother who follows the life of an orb weaver spider.
During the last days of the woman's pregnancy she would sit in a chair by the window and discovered a spider making a web on the outside of the window.
She sits by the window after the baby is born and her family watch in wonder how the spider lives. They watch it catch insects, eat, and lay eggs. Something interesting happens when it gets cold and in the spring. My kids found this story interesting. It's a different way to learn about the life of a spider.
