the weird and wonderful relationships they have with animals.
Children can discover the secrets of more than 100 amazing plants in
this treasury of fascinating flora, as well as the essentials of plant
science, including photosynthesis, pollination, and germination. Each
species is shown with remarkable photography and beautiful
illustrations, all brought to life by Ben Hoare's writing, filled with

This book is a must for any child interested in the natural world and
the plants that grow in it. Plants provide us with food, fuel, and
medicine, and without them, life as we know it would not exist. From
orchids that grow vanilla pods to leaves that look like stones, and from
bamboo that can be made into clothes to moss that soaks up vast amounts
of carbon dioxide, plants shape our world in an endless variety of ways.
