A Home for Every Plant

Journey across 40 incredible habitats around the world to discover the biggest, boldest, and stinkiest plants

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Journey across 40 incredible habitats around the world to discover the biggest, boldest, and stinkiest plants.

Without plants there would be no life on Earth, but most people are blind to their impact. This stylish and informative introduction to plants sets out to cure 'plant blindness' by introducing children to 66 amazing plants from the six major climatic zones around the world.

From the smelliest, such as the massive Titan Arum of the Indonesian rainforest, which stinks of rotting flesh to attract insects, to the hardest-working, including peat moss, an overlooked bog plant that helps protect our planet by trapping carbon dioxide, readers will learn about the vital role of plants in nature through detailed, vibrant illustrations and fascinating facts. Children will also learn how to use their newfound knowledge of the plant’s natural environment to care for the plants around them and at home.

Fully researched, written, and vetted by expert botanists from around the world, this book teaches children about plants in the context of their natural environment and is ideal for geography and biology curricular tie-ins. It is also a book that will inspire children to love and care for the plants around them.

This is the perfect compendium for plant-lovers, budding gardeners, and would-be botanists and nature-lovers alike.

A Home for Every Plant is recommended for ages 7 - 12.
