Author Notes:Bethany bARTon was drawing monsters for her other picture books ( This Monster Needs A Haircut , This Monster Cannot Wait ) when a spider crawled across the page and demanded her attention. Since she couldn't smash Mr. Spider into her artwork, she decided to try and love him. It wasn't easy (RIP Mr. Spider) but in the process, this book was born.

When she isn't writing or illustrating books about awesome and icky things, Bethany spends her days decorating sets and painting miniatures for film/TV. Bethany lives in Los Angeles with her rad husband, their adorable son, and an outrageous number of garden spiders she won't let anybody smash. (Well... unless they're really big.)
