Perfect for curious minds eager to uncover the secrets of nature's green giants.

From the publisher

Our close relationship with plants goes back hundreds of thousands of years – plants give us food, in addition to countless materials useful for building, decorating, curing illnesses and keeping us clothed and protected. Which plants have tasty, edible leaves? Why do some plants adopt ‘disguises’? And which ones set ‘traps’ for tiny animals? From the ‘bearded’ banyan to the African baobab, get ready to branch out into our eye-opening world of plants!
