Hungry Plants book cover
This book offers readers a bug’s-eye view into the strange and fascinating world of carnivorous plants. From the “jaws” of the Venus flytrap to the pretty sundew plant whose delicate tentacles entrap its prey, the unique anatomy and behaviors of bug-eating plants are detailed with clear, engaging text and art.
By: Mary Jane
