Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Plants only make their own food--right? Not pitcher plants! Most pitcher plants draw in insects with their sweet-smelling nectar and slowly digest them. There is one kind of pitcher plant that likes to snack on tree shrews, too. The bizarre eating habits of the pitcher plant are sure to fascinate and delight readers as they learn how this plant's digestive system works, its habitat, and more. Full-color photographs and a simple diagram allow readers to see clearly the unique structures of this weird plant.
Includes bibliographical references (page 23) and index.
Waiting for dinner -- Pretty, pretty pitcher -- The dangerous pitfall trap -- Crafty carnivores -- Delicious and nutritious! -- The North American killer -- The tropical terror -- Fab flower -- Wacky but wonderful!.
