"Perfectly Peculiar Plants" by Chris Thorogood and Catell Ronca (Words and Pictures)

With a dazzling and colourful cover to match the amazing plant species within, here's an original and fascinating non-fiction title from Words and Pictures...
"Perfectly Peculiar Plants" by Chris Thorogood and Catell Ronca is perfect for would-be mini-botanists who love flora that's a little out of the ordinary.

The biggest, the smallest, or the downright weirdest, this book has the lot - and quite a few plants who love nothing more than to scoff the various insect species that might have otherwise eaten them.

Yep, without a doubt our favourite section talks about carnivorous plants - what they look like, what they smell like (ugh, in some cases they really DO stink!) and the tricks they use to lure unsuspecting bugs in for a lunch they'll never forget (well, for the remaining moments of their lives at least!)

Chris and Catell have cooked up a real smorgasbord of incredible plant species - encouraging kids to explore further in books and online thanks to the book's awesome illustrations and layouts.

"Perfectly Peculiar Plants" by Chris Thorogood and Catell Ronca is out now, published by Words and Pictures (kindly supplied for review).
