"Ever thought of plants as sneaky or tricky? Probably not. But after reading this book, you might think differently. In this latest non-fiction book by the award-winning author Etta Kaner, readers are introduced to variety of plants from around the world that use trickery to survive and thrive. From the shape-changing Boquila vine that avoids the threat of being eaten by blending in with its host plant; to the pungent (to humans) Carrion flower that uses a rotten meat smell to lure the flies that play an important role in its pollination; to the large Nepenthes rajah, a pitcher plant that fools tree shrews into using it as a toilet as a way of acquiring the much-needed nutrients from their waste, Pretty Tricky is a fascinating guide to some of the most interesting, unusual, and often sneaky plants. Clearly written in easy-to-absorb short blocks of text (any scientific language is defined within the text), the book is organized into three main sections that cover the many amazing adaptations plants use to defend themselves, to reproduce, and to acquire food. Each spread includes a fact bubble that identifies where the focus plants grow in the world. End matter includes additional explanations about how plants make seeds and how plants make food. An index is also included. Ashley Barron's gorgeous, detailed, and dimensional illustrations give every spread a dynamic feel, often as though the illustrations themselves are growing right out of the pages of the book."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The information is presented in a very informative yet interesting way. I was hooked to every word and was honestly interested. I think this book would be a great way for educators or parents to read to their children and use a non-fiction book in the process. It's absolutely great for learning.
Kids can learn how plants defend themselves, where certain plants naturally grow, and plant reproduction, among other cool topics!
The illustrations are super cool - especially the Venus fly trap. It stood out to me instantly and pulled my attention in. They have a cool cut paper textile that makes it super intriguing and attention grabbing.
Overall, I really liked this book! It's informative, and as someone with a green thumb I found it super interesting!
Four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Owlkids for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. ( )
