Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants that have been known to absorb animals as big as a rat. It is awe-inspiring to think that a plant, a living thing made up of only roots, leaves and flowers could actually digest a rat. It seems almost impossible, but it is true. Pitcher plants are unusual in their look as well as their function. They are one of the most beautiful, yet deadly plants that Mother Nature has blessed us with. Pitcher Plants Young Readers Guide is a fun fact filled introduction to this amazing plant for young readers as well as adults. This edition of Pitcher Plants Young Readers Guide is filled with black and white pictures!
