Readers with a green thumb and an eye for the weird will love learning about more odd members of the plant world, including the ancient bristlecone pine, the smelly corpse flower, and underwater forests made of kelp. Each plant’s habitat, unique traits, and prey are included in the main content, which is written in accessible language for curious elementary readers.
