(4) K-3 Eyewitness Readers series. Different types of carnivorous, stinging, and poisonous plants (Venus's-flytraps, pitcher plants, prayer bean plants, cactus) are discussed in this book for independent readers. The clean, accessible design features plenty of unsensationalized, engaging close-up photos of plants protecting themselves or devouring their prey, although the few illustrations included are comparatively unattractive. Glos.
