From a distance, plants may seem harmless. But that doesn't mean all of them are! Welcome to the world of carnivorous plants, where the beautiful foliage and attractive appearance belie these plants' true intentions. Readers learn about Venus fly traps, pitcher plants, and more, as well as the mechanisms that allow them to eat animals and insects whole. This information-rich volume explains how being carnivorous is actually a defense, and how it helps these special plants survive. Colorful images and age-appropriate language explain important science concepts, which are presented in a way that's designed to complement classroom learning.

      Gr 3-5-An eye-opening look at plants. Each book includes an explanation of the adaptations that resulted in the subjects' unusual features. Volumes about plants that eat, poke, and poison are particularly excellent for their well-chosen examples and solid use of text and photos throughout. For example, in Poke, the written explanations of structural differences among thorns, spine, and prickles are reinforced by labels on the accompanying photo. Poison provides the widest range of examples and stresses the importance of consulting a guide before handling unknown species. The titles on plants that hide, mimic, or move are more general and stress their survival techniques as much as defense.
