Have you ever thought of plants as tricky? Probably not. But in this
nonfiction book, readers are introduced to the tricky techniques some
plants use to defend themselves, reproduce, or acquire food. From the
copycat Boquila vine that changes shape to match its host plant, to the
pungent carrion flower that lures pollinating flies with the scent of
rotten meat, plants across the globe have adapted to survive all kinds
of threatening fauna.
Each amazing plant adaptation is described through fact bubbles and
easy-to-grasp blocks of text. End matter includes a list of sources for
kids to explore, a glossary defining scientific terms, and an index.
Brought to life with eye-popping cut-paper collage illustrations, this
book is a garden of knowledge that will leave kids with a better
understanding of how living things adapt to their environments.
