Plants Can Eat Meat!

A plant may look beautiful. It may seem like it wouldn’t hurt a fly–but some of them definitely would! In this book, readers learn about Venus fly traps, pitcher plants, and more, as well as the ways they are able to eat animals and insects whole. The main text discusses how being carnivorous is actually a defense, and how it helps these special plants survive. Full-color images and age-appropriate exploration of important science lessons are designed to complement classroom learning.
