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.
