Amazing Plant Powers: How Plants Fly, Fight, Hide, Hunt, & Change the World

32 pp. | Holiday | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2256-2 $17.95
(4) K-3 Meant to interest young children in the plant kingdom, this is a simplified survey of the broad range of plant adaptations. The "tour" of "amazing powers," led by cactus "TV personality" Spike E. Prickles, is a jazzy, spirited botany introduction. Unfocused, visually overwhelming collaged layouts feature cartoon plant characters and labeled photos of real plants atop busy graphics. Project ideas are appended. Glos.
