About this ebook

THE AMAZING VOYAGE OF NEFERTITI, THE SPIDERNAUT

This nonfiction picture book for elementary kids chronicles the amazing voyage of Nefertiti, the Spidernaut to the International Space Station and back. She’s a Phiddipus johnsonii, or Johnson jumping spider, native to western United States. Her colorful anatomy—red, black and teal—made for stunning photography and video. In 2012, Nefertitti clocked a record-breaking 100 days in space, during which time she circled Earth about 1584 times, traveling about 41,580,000 miles.

    Darcy Pattison has written a wonderful and informative story about a spider who went to space.Nefertiti was a Johnson Jumping Spider. She was chosen because she was the largest of her siblings. They wanted to see if she could adapt to zero gravity to hunt in space. They sent along a food supply of fruit flies. She not only learned to hunt in space, but when she returned to Earth, she needed to learn to change her hunting methods. I never realized how smart spiders were until I read this true story. I believe, like all of Darcy’s books, this is another great book that should be in all classrooms.I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
