Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When we think of flowering plants, we generally imagine those with a pleasant fragrance that draw bees to pollinate them. Introduce your readers to the dragon arum, which is pollinated by flies that prefer the smell of rotting meat to that of sweet nectar. Readers of this absorbing volume will learn fascinating facts about this strange plant, including what it looks like and where it grows, in addition to the reason for its awful odor. Accessible text highlights important elementary science concepts, and vivid images help readers closely examine a plant they may never get to see in real life. Fact boxes provide perfect report-writing data and a graphic organizer enhances the learning experience.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
