The thorough description of this amazing plant, including its lightning-fast trapleaf closing mechanism, is followed by school project suggestions for science class. The book also contains useful hints about how to grow the plant at home. Written for a young audience, this book is a comprehensive account of this most remarkable evolutionary triumph in the plant kingdom of our planet.
