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. A see-through plant that resembles a ghost? Unlike most other plants, the ghost plant does not get energy from sunlight, so it does not make chlorophyll. This North American species is a parasite that feeds on a fungus. 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.
