Venus Flytrap

By Ashley Gish

Book Overview

Bats, corpses, and dragon blood You'll find them all in this elementary-level series about strange, exotic plants. Readers will discover how the plants got their names, how they grow, and what makes them unique. With vibrant photography, insightful life-cycle recaps, and a captivating story linked to each species, these science books offer an educational (and sometimes smelly) journey into the world of unusual plants. Named after the Roman goddess of love, the Venus flytrap shows very little love to its victims. It's one of Earth's 645 carnivorous plants. Its leaves look like jaws, and their toothlike spikes trap hapless insects inside. Elementary-level readers will learn all about this rare and unusual plant, from its habitat and life cycle to its unique name and features. Short sidebars provide extra information, an on-page glossary defines key terms, and a "Nature Story" details the plant's connection to people. Includes websites, a "Read More" section, and index.
