Plants can’t run, swim, or fly away from danger like many animals do, so how do they protect themselves? Plants have developed defenses that keep them safe from harm. This information-rich series explores fascinating plant defenses, such as camouflage. Readers learn about plants that eat, hide, move, mimic, poison, and poke and why these defenses are essential to plants’ survival. This series presents important life science concepts, such as adaptations and ecosystems, in a fun and engaging way.
