# Stink and the Hairy, Scary Spider - Hardcover

by **Megan McDonald** (Author), **Peter H. Reynolds** (Illustrator)

**Stink's spider phobia spurs his sister, Judy, and friend Webster to try some desensitization techniques--until a real-life encounter takes them by surprise--in a hilarious episode offering a bonus origami activity.**

_Creepy Crawly Criminy_ Everyone knows that Stink is bonkers about most scientific things. But there's one exception: dangle a spider in front of him and he goes berserk Stink is so freaked out by spiders that he can't read about them. He can't look at them. He can't _think_ about them. And he for-sure can't touch them Stink has arachnophobia (a fear of spiders), and he has it _bad_. But when a hairy backyard emergency arises, Stink is forced to face his fear--and eight beady eyes--head-on. Will he manage to tame the heebie-jeebies, or will he remain stuck in his web of terror? Arachno-fans will love the comics sprinkled throughout with facts about spiders as well as a hands-on origami challenge.
