Some flowers may look beautiful, but their petals and seeds have the power to kill! This book explores how plants use toxins to protect themselves from hungry animals that are looking for a tasty meal. Children will enjoy reading about the fascinating (and sometimes horrifying) ways in which some plants have evolved to protect themselves, all while they learn about plant bodies and life cycles. From stunning photographs to high-interest facts, Poison Petals: Dont Eat! makes learning about plant defenses a lively, engaging experience.
