Book Reviews of DK Readers: Plants Bite Back! (Level 3: Reading Alone)

Book Review: Two boys' review: Carnivorous plants are cool!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have two boys, ages 6 and 4, who love all things creepy and icky. "Plants Bite Back" is a great addition to their book collection.

The DK Readers series is a great introduction to science for little kids. The quality, full-color pictures really draw in my sons. We use these books both for regular bedtime reading and to develop our sons' reading skills. What's great about the natural science books from DK Readers is that we can reinforce the vocubulary and learning with real world examples, whether at the zoo, at the park or in our backyard.

We've purchased DK Readers books on snakes, spiders, bugs and bacteria. The carnivorous plants in this edition were a perfect fit to their other science books.

Here's some other DK Readers science books that I recommend:

* DK Readers: Slinky, Scaly Snakes (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback)
* DK Readers: Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback)
* DK Readers: Munching, Crunching, Sniffing, and Snooping (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback)
* DK Readers: The Secret Life of Trees (Level 2: Beginning to Read Alone) (Paperback)
* Micro Monsters: Life Under the Microscope (Paperback)



Summary of DK Readers: Plants Bite Back! (Level 3: Reading Alone)

With Eyewitness Readers, children will learn to read --then read to learn!

There are plants that prickle, sting, or even munch insects for lunch! So, never bite a strange plant -- it might bite back! The 48-page Level 3 books, designed for children who can read on their own, contain more complex sentence structure and more detail. Young readers will devour these kid-friendly titles, which cover high-interest topics such as sharks, and the Bermuda Triangle, as well as classics like Aladdin. Information boxes highlight historical references, trivia, pronunciation, and other facts about words and names mentioned. Averaging 2,400 to 2,800 words, these books offer a 50/50 picture-to-text ratio. The Dorling Kindersley Readers combine an enticing visual layout with high-interest, easy-to-read stories to captivate and delight young bookworms who are just getting started. Written by leading children's authors and compiled in consultation with literacy experts, these engaging books build reader confidence along with a lifelong appreciation for nonfiction, classic stories, and biographies. There is a DK Reader to interest every child at every level, from preschool to grade 4.
