Aprašymas

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. An exotic tree grows in just one place on Earth: the Socotra islands in the Indian Ocean. It's shaped like an upside-down umbrella, its sap is blood-red, and it can live 600 years! Meet the dragon blood tree. 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.
