"Weaver is never visually anthropomorphized, with all eight eyes and mandibles depicted in close-ups. This has the effect of heightening the astonishing achievement of this very nonhuman engineer...She's a brown-and-black figure in a mostly grayscale world; she perceives it most keenly through her web, which vibrates in prismatic color when a fly lands in it. Altogether, a beguiling peek at and appreciation of one of nature's everyday wonders."

★ Starred Review — The Horn Book Magazine

"A spotted orbweaver spider's nightly routine unfurls in Baker and Eggenschwiler's pleasingly perceptive, arachnology-guided tale. Text and art take the arachnid's perspective, with finely wrought opening grayscale artwork conveying hairy brown Weaver's low-vision experience of the world...Weaver's instinct-led exploits make for riveting reading."

★ Starred Review — Publishers Weekly

"An exceptional pairing of text and art that will reward arachnophobes, spider lovers, and the generally curious."
