Customer Reviews

Even my I-hate-to-read son likes this one

A great book if you're looking for an alternative to Star Wars, Transformers, Spider-Man and TMNT. My son actually read a book about plants! Imagine that. Thanks DK!

Two boys' review: Carnivorous plants are cool!

I have two boys, ages 6 and 4, who love all things creepy and icky. "Plants Bite Back" is a great addition to their book collection. The DK Readers series is a great introduction to science for little kids. The quality, full-color pictures really draw in my sons. We use these books both for regular bedtime reading and to develop our sons' reading skills. What's great about the natural science books from DK Readers is that we can reinforce the vocubulary and learning with real world examples, whether at the zoo, at the park or in our backyard. We've purchased DK Readers books on snakes, spiders, bugs and bacteria. The carnivorous plants in this edition were a perfect fit to their other science books. Here's some other DK Readers science books that I recommend: * DK Readers: Slinky, Scaly Snakes (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback) * DK Readers: Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback) * DK Readers: Munching, Crunching, Sniffing, and Snooping (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback) * DK Readers: The Secret Life of Trees (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback) * Micro Monsters: Life Under the Microscope (Paperback)

Very good beginner book on carniverous plants

We bought a few carniverous plants from a nursery, which is how my kids got interested in the subject. I borrowed this book from the library. The book further peaked the kids' interest in the plants (they check the plants every day). We got a lot out of this book. In fact, we read it over and over and over again for so many time that I bought a copy.The book has pictures and very simple of clear texts that explain several unusual plants: the carniverous plants, poison ivy and some other poisonous plants. I think this is a great book for kids.

Eyewitness Reader, Plants bite back

Another interesting book from DK that kids will love. It was well written and kept my interest all the way to the end. It's nice to have books that that are interesting and informative that my kids really like to read, I even learned something from this book. The photographs and illustrations are wonderful. Geography, history and lots of science all in one book.
