Before bugs, animals, or birds, there were plants. They were first as utility, then as fodder, later for beauty. Beautifully and comprehensively illustrated by Amy Grimes and put together by a team headed by renowned Science writer Chris Thorogood in language aimed at nonscientists/plant biologists, this is an excellent learning tool for people of many ages and English language abilities. Loved it and plan to gift it to our local library.
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group – QEB Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!… (mer)

Perfectly Peculiar Plants written by Chris Thorogood, and illustrated by Catell Ronca, looks at a number if unusual plants from all over the world. From giant waterlillies, to air plants, to dead horse arum, each plant gets a two page spread listing neat facts, as well as giving the name in English and Latin. There were three or four additional sections that addressed how plants get energy, how they move, and different categories, like symbiotic, parasitical, or carnivorous. Overall, both my cubs and I liked this book. I don't much care for the art, though my cubs enjoyed it. Perfect for the child who enjoyed nature and botany.

***Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.
