Editorial Reviews

Among the 250,000 plant types that cover the earth there are about 400 identified as carnivores. These plants eat meat--mostly small insects--but some, such as the giant pitcher plants that grow in Borneo, can trap small birds, frogs and rats. While plants don't eat humans, many plants are poisonous or have noxious spines and hairs that can harm people. This level 3 reader offers much to ruminate about in its five chapters with enticing headings such as "Greedy Green Guzzlers" and Deadly Weeds." There is also a glossary and plenty of colorful photographs and illustrations throughout. Part of the "Eyewitness Readers" series.
