Plant Science

This series aims to answer some of the most common questions that children ask about themselves and the world around them.

It provides scientific explanations behind different aspects of life that are often taken for granted.

Which plants glow in the dark? Why do cacti have spines? Which plants smell like meat? How can you tell the age of a tree? This book explains not only how and where different species of plants grow but also includes details of extraordinary plant behaviour and of plant record-breakers.
