Hungry Plants
by Mary Batten; illustrated by Paul Mirocha
Kids LOVE carnivorous plants. Seriously! We've yet to meet a child who didn't find them beyond fascinating. This book captures that interest in an early reader aimed at children in grades 2-3. Readers learn all about carnivorous plants, particularly the Venus flytrap, the sundew, the pitcher plant, and the bladderwort (ie: structure of the plant, how it captures insects...).
The writing is clear and
interesting, with just enough drama to keep the pages turning.
And Mirocha's illustrations make the science
clear! If you are doing a unit on plants or non-fiction books and have
a reluctant reader on your hands, try this Step Into Reading title.
