Did you know that some plants can actually eat bugs!?
It's true! There are more than 600 kinds of bug eating plants in the word. In this book Hungry Plants you will learn about all kinds of insect- eating plants. Did you know Borneo is home to the biggest pitcher plants in the world!? Insect -eating plants don't have eyes so how does a Venus fly trap know when a bug is in there mouth? When a fly or any other small insect, crawls on to a Venus fly trap's leaf, it touches a tiny hair. Then the fly touches another hair these little hairs are triggers that signals to the plants that dinner is here!! There is not a lot of text and through out the book there is narration it's easy to read and interesting. The illustrations are very detailed and are interesting. They're almost like photographs. I recommend this book to people who love plants that eat bugs or any body who would like to learn about hungry plants. So read the book or you'll be missing out!!!
