Leaflets Three, Let It Be!: The Story of Poison Ivy

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robin Brickman. Page after page, forest animals nibble and graze on all parts of poison ivy. But urushiol, an oil exuded by every part of this plant, is toxic to humans--only people can get the itchy rash! Little-known facts are presented for young children in simple language and painted and collaged cutouts. "Itching to Know More?" information is included at the back.
