Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Which tree weighs as much as 450 elephants and is the heaviest living thing on Earth? How can a tree have bark on its trunk that grows in rainbow colors? What is the strange red liquid that pours from the trunk of the dragon's blood tree? And where in the world can you see a 1,000-year-old tree that has two churches carved into its trunk? In this title, young readers are introduced to some of the plant kingdom's most extreme trees. While children enjoy reading about these amazing plants, they will be learning plenty of core science information about the parts of trees and their incredible life cycles.
Includes bibliographical references (page 24) and index.
That's extreme! -- Giants of the rain forest -- A rainbow of color -- Spiky trunks -- Dripping dragon's blood -- Danger, deadly poison! -- Spreading banyan trees -- A prehistoric tree -- The chapel oak.
